If you miss pizza, this is a great substitute.

    @hj127‌ thank you!

    And some of these people are the same people that post threads or statuses wondering why the scale isn't moving or inches aren't being lost -___- It is what it is. I know many people whether they posted here or not, will enjoy and benefit from the recipe and that gives me satisfaction :)

    You are right. I assumed when I shouldn't have. I may be completely wrong or completely right. Here is what I should have said:

    some of these people are probably the same people that post threads or statuses wondering why the scale isn't moving or inches aren't being lost

    Please don't try to tell me that there aren't people on MFP that underestimate their calorie count daily then go on the forums and ask people why they're not losing weight :wink:

    Nice back track, but it's pretty clear you were alluding to the people commenting here in this thread. And you are completely wrong in reference to the people here in this thread.

    yum! yes nothing beats "real pizza' but you're right I would definitely prefer a healthier alternative. Thanks! :D

    why is pizza not healthy?

    In the context of overall diet, SOME pizza is not unhealthy. But for those with limited calories, to balance the overall diet pizza may not be something that fits often. And if the diet isn't balanced, it's unhealthy.

    yes, I was referring to the blanket statement that it is "unhealthy"

    I see you are once again not reading through all the comments before jumping in ...

    No, it didn't. It said they prefer a healthier alternative. You changed it to unhealthy.

    yea, again, I was not talking to you, I was referring to another poster..but you decided to make this about you...

    I chose to make it about the post to which you replied. And to answer your question. If you chose the wrong one ...

    yes, you injected yourself into a conversation without fully understanding said conversation, which is something you do all the time.

    Well, it is a forum, not a private conversation. :p

    yes, it is a forum, and yes you can jump in ....but you might want to at least have a clue as to what you are referring back to ...

    Sorry if I confused you. Click 'Show previous quotes' and it will show you exactly what I referred (and responded) to.

    hmmm since you jumped in and commented on the wrong post, the "show previous" is not really going to help, now is it?

    I think you are confused. I commented exactly where I wanted.

    well considering I was replying to an entirely different poster, I would say you are the one that is confused..

    but now you are arguing just to argue, which is what you always do and I am bored. So go play with someone else...

    Thanks for the toasting idea! I make flatbread "pizza" when I don't feel like making pizza dough and want some quick lunch and sometimes it gets soggy. Why did I not think of that? No fat free cheese for me though... I won't let that abomination anywhere near my kitchen!

    lol You guys. Always so positive. Of course real pizza is 100x better. And of course if you'd prefer the real deal no need to look at my post. But this recipe is for those like myself, who can't order a pie and stop at 1 or 2 slices. Also great for those who don't want to use up 400-700 calories from their daily limit for one meal. It's for those who prefer a healthier, lighter, less greasier option. Thanks though!

    Everyone else who left positive feedback, thanks and enjoy!


    Not trying to be a hater - the point I'm trying to make is more that I don't think it 'works' to not eat foods that you miss. If you're cutting foods you love out of your diet, ultimately, you'll binge and then be disappointed in yourself. I'm sure what you've made is very tasty, but my point is that I don't think this whole weight loss thing can be permanently successful unless you find a way to allow yourself the foods you love. Sweets are my issue, but over time I've changed how I look at food, as well as learned how to help myself succeed, so I now know how to eat what I love, within reason. This past weekend (I'm a nerd) I had cherry pie and vanilla ice cream for Pi day. I also had bacon with my breakfast. I'm watching my calories every 7 days and made this work on only 1200 daily avg. cals. I've lost over 12 pounds in 9 weeks, and had a healthy BMI at my starting weight. If I can do it, anyone can!

    It's great that you make certain foods work for you. But there are lots of people including myself who want to avoid eating takeout pizza. There's nothing wrong with that. Also, yes there are people who might binge if they don't satisfy a certain craving but i'm not one of those people. I started this life change in January and have had not a single issue over eating or bingeing due to not satisfying a craving. Lots of other people like that too.

    It looks like you are now modifying what you originally said. You stated alternative for pizza, NOT take out pizza. Why the modification? I don't eat take out pizza, or take out anything else. I cook all my meals. - Not that cooking is required to lose weight, it's not. But please don't generalize in a way you didn't originally intend. Also - not a problem with avoiding pizza - some people don't like pizza. Doesn't mean they're avoiding it, just that they don't like it. If you're looking for an alternative to pizza however, you want pizza. I respectfully disagree with your 'non binging' success. 2 1/2 months does not a binge free life make. Come back in 3 years and tell us you're binge free then. Also please don't feel the need to use the 'lots of other people' line. Weak. Lots of other people lose weight doing the lemonade, peeps, grapefruit detox, right? ;)

    Then this is for you!

    This is great because it is low calorie. It is 172 calories with pepperoni, 155 calories without.

    -1 Market Pantry Carb conscious tortilla 80 Calories

    -1 1/4 cup Uncle Steve's arrabiata tomato sauce ( 31 grams if using scale) 30 Calories

    -1 1/4 cup fat free Kraft Mozzarella shredded (or 28 grams if you are using a scale) 45 Calories

    -optional- Hormel's Turkey Pepperoni, 5 pieces about 17 calories.

    Remember to toast the tortilla by itself for about 5 minutes on 350 degrees in conventional over. For more accurate results for sauce and cheese calorie count make sure to use food scale.

    that seems like a *kitten* ton of tomato sauce for one tortilla.

    Judging by the grams, it's 1/4 c I think not 1.25 cups.

    All this girl was trying to do was give an idea that works for her. Some of you should really chill. If you want real pizza eat it, if you don't that's great too. Just because something works for you doesn't mean it works for everyone else.

    How am I modifying what I said? I'm not being a smarty here, just trying to understand. I didn't say you ate take out pizza. How am I generalizing? I specifically said lots of people want to avoid takeout. I didn't say you and i certainly didn't say everybody. I have never had a bingeing issue? So I'll come back to you now. How is 'lots of other people' a weak line? Can you give me an exact number I should use? lol
