Hi all, it's great we have a 5:2 forum here. I'm intending to start next week and I am just working out what I'm going to eat on my fast days. I've just read 'the Fast Diet' by Dr Michael Mosley (the guy on the Horizon programme) and Mimi Spencer. It recommends you have 25% of your ordinary days intake on a fast day. I figure that for me that's around 400 kcals (I'm quite small - height not width!).
I'm a veggie so will be eating quorn as it's so lo cal and high protein. So one meal for me is a Quorn peppered steak (123 kcals), tomato (20 kcals) and 50g pickled beetroot (11 kcals). That makes 154 kcals.
I'm going to drink black coffee, herbal tea, diet coke and water, so pretty much calorie free with the drinks.
For breakfast I'm going to eat a sachet of Oat So Simple made with water and sweetener as that will come to 100 kcals.
Another meal I'm thinking of making is oven roasted peppers (2 x 36 kcals), red onion (200g = 96 kcals) and courgette (200g = 40 kcals). That makes 208 kcals.
Please share your fast day recipes too!
