I’m officially back on calorie restrictive diet after gaining 20 pounds (sadly I don’t think it’s all muscle). I eat healthy foods about 99% of the time, however, when bulking or trying to add mass, you tend to get more creative with your foods as you are not as restricted. So with that being said, you need to stay creative while cutting as well or you will drive yourself insane.
During the normal work week, I tend to eat a lot of the same foods. Mainly because it’s cheaper and easier to prepare. During the weekends, I like to get creative. The recipe that I am posting today is one that I’ve had in the arsenal for some time now. Just recently I’ve fallen in love with banana peppers, so this pizza is a modified version of the one I used to enjoy. Normally when you think of pizza, you think of one of the most unhealthiest dishes that Americans love. This version offers a little bit of everything. To start off with, we’re going to use a Flatout Multi-Grain wrap for the crust. This crust is going to pack 9 grams of fiber and a very small amount of net carbs. We’re also going to use low-fat ground turkey (you can even substitute with turkey pepperoni), low-fat cheese and a light Ragu pizza sauce. See below for a full list of ingredients.
The Ingredients:
- 1 Flatout wrap (I prefer the light Multi-Grain, you can find these at Wal-Mart in the deli section around the rolls)
- 4 oz. low-fat ground turkey (I really recommend 93/7 Honeysuckle White)
- 1/4 cup Light Ragu spaghetti sauce (No-Sugar Added)
- 1/4 cup low-fat cheese (You can get mozzarella or my favorite, Mexican-style)
- Veggies of your choice (I use purple onion, banana peppers, and green bell peppers)
- *Optional – Pizza Seasoning
The Instructions:
-Pre heat the oven to 425
-Brown the turkey in a small/medium pan (I start with Medium-High and lower to Medium)
-While the meat is cooking, start spreading the sauce over your crust (wrap), adding the cheese and topping your pizza with veggies.
-Once the turkey is brown, simply put it on top of your pizza. Your pizza should resemble something like this:
-Lastly, pop it in the oven. Cook times will vary depending on how you like your pizza, but I usually leave mine in for 10-12 minutes and that browns the crust perfectly.
Hopefully your pizza will come out just as amazing as mine did. Obviously the finished product is going to differ from a pizza that you’d normally order from Pizza Hut, but in my opinion, much better tasting! Get creative, have fun and remember that dieting or losing weight does not have to be a negative experience! Enjoy!
