The 5:2 Fast is rapidly growing in popularity for its ability to promote weight loss without feeling deprived. The basic principle is very simple: eat normally for five days a week and restrict calories for two non-consecutive days. That's it. The trick is to eat healthy on non-fast days and cut calories to 500 for women and 600 for men during fast days. Easy enough right?

We came up with the perfect solution: a collection of 30 nutrient-dense recipes that are help you make the most of your fast day calorie allowance.
