Many people think pizza can’t be part of a healthy diet. When you are looking for a quick dinner, there is no doubt pizza comes to mind. However, over-indulging in this often high fat treat can be counterproductive when you are watching your waistline.
It is possible to have a healthy pizza dinner that is both low in saturated fat and loaded with veggies and lean meat. Boost the fiber content of your pizza by simply using whole-wheat pizza dough, which is widely available in supermarkets. Substituting low-fat mozzarella for regular cheese lowers saturated fat and cholesterol and piling on the veggies for extra fiber and nutrients bulk up the pizza without the added fat. Try to find a pizza sauce that is low in sodium. Make tonight a pizza night with this delicious Garlic Chicken and Potato Pizza.
