Yes, you can eat pizza even when you are watching your diet! But, the best time for eating pizza is definitely as a post-workout meal. 

The benefit especially men would love is that pizza is great for post-workout bulking. If you’re also trying to lose weight or build lean muscle, 56 grams of protein sounds attractive.  

The best way to balance between the food you like to eat and a healthy diet is to make your own pizza at home. You can control the amount of protein and carbohydrates which you need after training. The main problem with frozen or delivered pizzas is the leak of nutrients. 

How to make this awesome Pizza?

For this pizza recipe, you will need 7 simple ingredients. Before you start, preheat the oven to 220°C / 200°C (Fan) / Gas Mark 7.

Place slices of tomatoes and chillies on wholewheat pizza crust or pizza bread. Cut onions and grill them in a pan using Coconut Oil spray. Add it on top of the pizza. 

Add a source of protein of your choice, this recipe uses shrimps. Now, add the pieces of shrimps to the pizza.

Then, sprinkle cheese on top. This recipe uses reduced fat Feta cheese. You can add coriander now or later, depending on if you prefer the taste of fresh coriander.
