I LOVE ENGLISH FOOD!!

Whether it be toad in the hole, pie and mash, fish and chips, stew and dumplings or a good old sunday roast but all of the foods I love have about a GAZZILION calories in them.

Does anybody have any low(er) kcal alternatives to any of the above or any other good hearty meals??

They don't have to be traditional english meals either.. I'm also very partial to a Pizza

    Well a stew is pretty english and stodgy!! But it's not too bad, if you don't have dumplings! We put ours in the slow cooker to simmer away whilst at work or on a Sunday morning so it's ready when we come home. Just put chopped veg (swede, carrot, parsnip, spuds, leeks if you like) and some meat in the slow cooker withhot water and a couple of stock cubes and seasoning. When it comes to serving thicken with some gravy granules.

    It is to die for!! :bigsmile:

    If you make pizza base out of Warburtons squarish wraps (159 cals each) and they are quite big - then top with the usual (minus high calorie salami) and lo lo cheese then you can get a big pizza for about 300 cals

    I make these regularly as the whole family like them and dont concider them 'diet food' as they defo dont look like it xx
