Low Fat Pizza Rustica

The low fat pizza Rustica is worth 9.5 WW pts. That's more than your average serving of low fat dinner... but it is still low in fat compared with the amount of fat found in your local pizzeria's produce. Far less!

However, it contains 4 Vegetables, 56 mg Cholesterol, 950 mg Sodium, 68 g Total Carbohydrate, 4 g Dietary Fiber, 31 g Protein, 165 mg Calcium... I mean... It is very healthy.

Besides, the whole thing about eating low fat meals is that you have to also do exercise if you want to enjoy a few "luxories". Don't worry. Even though this pizza is higher in points than others, you'll be able to enjoy it provided you budget your points for the day (or if you're in a calorie counting regime, your calories and fat).

Apart from being healthy, the low fat pizza rustica is delicious and very colourful. Kids will love it. I promise!
