Overview
The Skinny 5:2 Diet Meals For One is a single-serving cookbook built specifically for anyone following the 5:2 fasting diet on their own. Every recipe and snack is portioned for one person, removing the guesswork of scaling ingredients or dealing with wasted leftovers. With calorie-counted options under 100, 200 and 300 calories, it's an easy, practical companion for fast days, ideal for students, professionals and solo cooks who want structure without complication.

About the Book
Written under the CookNation brand, this title tackles a genuine gap in the 5:2 diet cookbook market: most fasting-day recipe books assume you're cooking for a family or a couple, leaving solo dieters to divide quantities or throw away spare portions. Here, every single recipe and snack idea is designed from the outset as one true serving, so there's no maths, no waste, and no temptation to overeat because "it's already made."

The book is organised around the three core calorie bands used on 5:2 fast days - under 100, under 200 and under 300 calories - so readers can mix and match dishes to hit their personal daily target. Alongside the recipes, there's supporting guidance on the 5:2 approach, practical tips for staying on track, and plenty of snack inspiration to bridge the gap between meals. The tone throughout is encouraging rather than clinical, reflecting CookNation's broader "Skinny" series ethos that dieting doesn't have to mean deprivation. At 122 pages, it's a compact, browsable paperback that slots easily onto a kitchen shelf, useful for both quick weekday reference and weekend meal planning. For anyone newly starting intermittent fasting, or long-time 5:2 followers tired of halving recipes meant for two, this book offers a refreshingly simple solution.
