[RECIPE] Quick, Easy Chicken Stir Fry under 400 calories!

Have you ever come home from a long day at work and said "screw it, the last thing I want to do right now is cook so let's get take away instead"?  This leads to the ordering of a high calorie meal, combined with a couple of glasses of wine and an element of guilt.  Not to mention jeopardised results!  Sound familiar?

Well, there's good news!  You're not alone.  You just want something simple right?  You might be like me, someone who sucks at cooking! (I won't judge).

A recipe you can throw together in 10-20 minutes, that doesn't feel like an effort is the best option.  A dinner that's quick, easy, leaves you satisfied AND helps you lose fat! 

*NOTE* - before scrolling down to the recipe, understand that you can adjust the amounts to suit YOU and YOUR needs.  Doing this will adjust overall calories.
