I save most of my calories for my evening meal on a fast day, sparing some throughout the day for a splash of milk in my tea when I begin to fade. Tonight I made baked cod with a pesto and breadcrumb crust accompanied by a generous salad of spinach leaves, peppers, sweetcorn and balsamic glaze. It was gorgeous, too tasty for a fast day as it just made me want to cook it and eat it all again and I was devastated when i finished!

Is there anything you have to avoid on a fast day because it just triggers your appetite too much!?
