Every guy gets bored of grilled and baked chicken. Eating clean can be tedious-at least until you master the stir-fry, the simplest, quickest way to make a healthy, tasty dish that all gets cooked at once. This meal has lean protein, clean carbs, and healthy fats, but taste like your favorite Thai takeout. Best of all it’s hard to screw up.
Quick Tip: Choose white rice over brown. Brown rice contains mineral-blocking phytic acid and may be harder to digest.
