As I’ve done so, I’ve been gathering a collection of suitable low-calorie, vegetarian and vegan recipes – one of the best ways for me to make sure I stay on track is to create interesting dishes within the low calorie restrictions.As well as reducing calories, I’ve been trying to use fast days as an excuse to cut back on dairy (I eat far too much cheese!) and also on sugar, so I hope these are generally healthy recipes. I’ll be adding to this list as I develop more recipes which are suitable for fast days.A bit of background on intermittent fastingThe principle behind intermittent fasting is to restrict your calorie intake quite dramatically, but only some of the time. Common fasting patterns include:5:2Probably the most common variant, where you eat a normal diet five days a week, and restrict your calories to 500 per day on the other two (non-consecutive) days.
