Hands up who loves pizza?
Me me me! You too. Cool.
Unfortunately, I am going to put the "Chief of all Bad Juju" label on pizza.
Oh I know don't cry there is a light at the end of the tunnel; let me introduce you to Protein Pizza Base from the Protein Bread Company. I just love these guys and their products.
The carbs in pizza are just horrific a Spicy veg trio, classic pizza base 67g serve from Dominos = 20.1 carbs which at first glance doesn't seem too bad. When compared to 1, 39g regular slice of wholemeal bread =12.8 carbs, you think well it's not that bad at all. The problem is 67g of pizza is approximately 1 slice of pizza, most of us would have at least 4 slices which = approx 268g which turns you 20.1 carbs into 80.4 carbs. Dominos menu nutritional information.
Now if you add in a couple of beers and some ice cream which is normal and you eat this once a week, again normal and you are sedentary, it will impact on your health and wellbeing significantly.
Becoming overweight is not the worst thing about eating this way. Healthline fast-food-effects-on-body this is a great article on the effects of fast foods on your body. Read it.
The Protein Pizza Base's are made from Golden flax meal, lupin, almond meal, kibbled sunflower, whey protein, sesame seeds, herbs (oregano, marjoram, thyme, rosemary, sage), garlic powder, onion powder, salt. They contain lupin, tree nuts, dairy and sesame so those with nut allergies need to avoid. "Made with love in Australia from over 90% Australian Ingredients", which means you, are supporting your countries small business industry by buying.
If you make it my way easy diet dairy figures are as follows:
An 80g serve base only will give you:
577Kj Protein S.Fat Fat Carb Sugar Fibre Sodium
138cal 85.4g 1.3g 7.8g 1.2g 1g 7g 169mg
A 40g serve base only will give you:
289kj Protien S.Fat Fat Carb Sugar Fibre Sodium
69cal 47.7g 0.6g 3.9g 0.6g 0g 3g 84mg
*Values presented via Easy Diet Diary app.
If you make according to packet instructions your values will be similar to the figures below.
These figures are for base only and your topping will determine overall calories. To give you an idea of size, I like my bases thin so I make them up on a baking tray, not pizza tray, this is what they look like.
I cut them in half and have two serves out of this. I use whole eggs, not egg whites and don't add salt. Bake for 20 mins one side and yummo pizza without the carb blowout.
Try them soon! The protein Bread Co
