Nutrition Tip: This vegetarian Thai red curry is vegan friendly but you can add a fried chicken breast and add that in if you need more protein in your meal.

If you are a fast oxidizer, you will do best with more protein and fat in your diet. But if you are a slow oxidizer, you will do best with more light vegetables in your diet.
