E - Rockin' Moroccan Stew

E Lunch - Rockin' Moroccan Stew. This is a Looney Spoons recipe that my husband LOVES! He requests it often. :D I started adding chopped chicken breast to up the protein.

E Because:

1)There are less than 5g of fat in this meal.

2) There are between 20-45g of carbs in this meal. (The sweet potatoes and chick peas make up most of my carb count)

3) My protein source is chicken breast, chick peas. 

4) There are lots of non-starchy veggies in this meal. 

5) To drink I have a tall glass of ice water. Make sure you are drinking LOTS! Er... of water that is. ;)
