Homemade 300kcal Pizza

So I'm not a great cook by any stretch of the imagination and I tend to stick to the same food, most of which is bland which leads to me getting bored and going off plan.  I've decided that  I need to become better at cooking and one of my first attempts was this homemade pizza.  Approx it's 300kcal, 25g of carbohydrate and about 6g of fat.  Here's how I made it.....

Ingredients
  • Tin of chopped tomato - 200g
  • Tomato puree - 4 tablespoons
  • Crushed chillies
  • Garlic powder
  • Small wholewheat tortilla (40g)
  • Half fat mozzarella 
  • Oregano
  1. Heat the oven to 200c or 180c for fan assisted.
  2. Add the tin of tomatoes and tomato puree to a pot and heat.  Stir in some crushed chillies and garlic to suit your taste.  Careful with the chillies, they make it HOT (or maybe that's just me lol)
  3. Place the tortilla on an oven tray
  4. Cover the tortilla with the tomato sauce from the pot, leave some space at the edge for a pizza crust.
  5. Cover with the mozzerlla
  6. Season with oregano
  7. Place into the middle of the oven for 6-8 mins until the cheese has melted and slightly crisp.

These scales must be wrong?

Has anyone ever said that? "These scales must be wrong! I must have lost more than that!" I have, more times than I care to remember! I know that my body fat could have changed or I may be carrying a little more water or it's that time of the month or 1000 other reasons why the scale doesn't show the number I want, but still it ruins my day! I'll admit it, I'm obsessed with standing on the scales. I advise people all the time not be be hung up on what the scale says but here I am morning, noon and night 7 days a week standing on them, you know "just to see". I've decided this year that I'm going to work on being ultra fit and a super healthy eater rather than focussing all my efforts on getting that number on the scale down. I figure if I'm getting fitter and fitter my the day and eating clean nutritious food then the weight will just fall off naturally without me putting myself down for being a quarter of a pound heavier than yesterday. I know my obsession with the scale isn't a healthy one, and I'm not promising not to weigh myself. However I am going to limit it to once a week and if it's not the exact figure I wanted then hey that's life! I am promising though to make great food choices and workout like it's my job!! Here's to my fittest year ever #fittestyearever12 p.s. in this whole blog every time I tried to write 'and' I mis-typed and wrote 'abs' by mistake!! Hhhhhmm a sign maybe??
