Menu planning

• -The nutritionists recommend combining always the pizza with a seasonal leaf salad to avoid very high glycemic peak.

Healthy eating

• - Even the choice of sourdough is healthy.
• - Generally pizza is always rich in calories and this recipe has calories and total fat superior to those required for a normal meal. Keep this in mind planning the other meals of the day.
  It would be wise to eat vegetarian dishes with little fat in the second main meal of the day.
• - Pizza with salami and spinach has 12.1 grams of fiber.
• - I'll be back on the amount of flour. To be able to eat pizza at least once a week or frequently you have to deal with the doses of its ingredients. Several people suggest to prepare pizza dough with double the flour in my recipes. In this case you should add to the already high numbers you've seen something like 425 calories, which would bring the total count to 1313 ... a real Everest! Meditate people ... meditate ;))
