This is a fantastic fat burning stew because it's so low in calories and so filling. It's also healthy and helps you build muscle because it's so high in protein.

Super simple and fast too!

Could there be anything more convenient than spending 5 minutes at night making your breakfast, sticking it in the refrigerator, then waking up the next day and your morning meal is done, ready and waiting for you?
