When I am eating pizza at it's first meal I usually have two slices (it is a treat) but when I am doing the leftovers I try to pair up one slice with chicken or turkey or vegetables to make a meal. Combining foods also helps stretch out those carbs from spiking my blood sugars. I feel better about eating a slice also if it is right before (1-2 hours) my lifting workout.

I prefer getting my pizza with as much meat as possible and less cheese. That helps offset the carbs for me.

Also, the calorie / carb content varies GREATLY depending on the brand, the size, and the toppings.

Ive had pizza several times since starting this journey six weeks ago, and it hasn't kept me from losing. It helps keep me on track knowing that I can occasionally have the yummy foods I love. Log it, enjoy it, and don't feel guilty!

I agree. Funny thing is I skipped the pizza last night. I had some steak and veggies that didn't satisfy me, and the scale went up 7/10 of an lb. There is something to be said for how we feel about the food. Feeling guilty is not going to help. I totally get that now. Actually, I got it before. Then I started to stress about pizza, and I forgot that I got it. Then some folks reminded me, and then, well...you read the thread:-)
