Vegetable Stir Fry {5:2 Diet Recipe}

I'm now starting week 4 of the 5:2 fasting diet and things are so far so good. I've lost a steady 2lbs per week without feeling like I've been missing out on anything. On fast days I eat around 500 calories which usually consists of a late breakfast and then a dinner or a light breakfast and lunch and then a larger dinner. Crispbread's with Marmite have become my new best friend, at only 19 calories per crispbread I have them for breakfast if I feel that I can't wait until late morning. Sticks of celery are a life saver if I get the mid afternoon munchies and My Fitness Pal is a handy app that I use to keep track of my calories on my ipad and phone.

A favourite dinner on fast days is stir fry as I can have a pile of veggies for very few calories, with a stock cube adding flavour, and only 164 calories. I use whatever vegetables I have in, but always courgettes and broccoli.
