The FastDay Forum

Went out to eat at Pizza Express last night (not a fasting day) but noticed and ordered one of their Leggera Pizzas (I had Apollo Ad Astra) which Pizza Express claim are all under 500 calories . They are a thin based pizza with a hole in the middle that is filled with rocket leaves with a light dressing and parmesan shavings. Plenty filling enough which got me thinking it would be a treat to have on a fast day (as long as you only eat one meal on a fast day along with water or diet drinks).

Anyone found any other restaurant meals for fast days?

I had the goats cheese and camamelised onion leggera last weekend .... it was gorgeous! Loved it! My brother even said he preferred mine to his pizza off the 'normal' menu loaded with calories no doubt.

Harvester count calories - a lot of 'chain' pubs do.

Sainsbury's cafe do and they are horrendous all main meals over 1000 calories !! My nephew wanted a brunch meal but it was 1600 calories for one meal he soon changed his mind and had a jacket for half the calories

Zizzi have some dishes under 650 calories and bella Italia under 600 calories. Well I guess not for fast day but they are delicious and filling to have on feast days

I got a Pizza Hut takeaway for my feast day post-work treat this evening and I've consumed hardly any calories. Mainly because I ordered a gluten-free base by mistake and it's quite unpleasant

Omg... I can.t believe my eyes... Pizza on a fast day... I have saved myself all day and am now tucking into a leggera!

Feeling very positive indeed!

The Leggera one with leeks, chilli, gorgonzola and pancetta is honestly the best pizza I have ever tasted in my life. It's SO delicious. Pizza Express also do a Light range that you can buy in the supermarkets - the veggie one is really tasty. There's a bit about it on my blog here: http://fastdays.wordpress.com/2013/02/2 ... ast-day-2/
