1 pizza at a time.

Lol. That's the way I do it. Order pizza. Eat the pizza. All of it...

Yep! I do the same with wine. Can never seem to be able to get that cork back into the bottle. lol

The cork is not supposed to go back in. You're doing it right!

I got into a really bad habit of ordering pizza at least once a week - a massive one - and eating it all! I still love pizza but one big change I've made is that when I do really fancy pizza, I get one from the supermarket and cook it myself. If I'm wanting pizza I'm going to be feeling too lazy to make it myself from scratch so getting a supermarket one hits the spot perfectly and I know how many calories are in it.

find something similar in the database and do the best you can...personally, pizza night is just kind of a free night...pizza is pretty calorie dense so I don't have it all that often...so when I do, meh...I just eat the pizza.

Same here, pizza night is free night.

Although I don't have any problem with having pizza whenever I feel like it I don't think it's in my best interest to down a whole pizza. A large pizza is not meant to feed just one person it's meant to feed a family. The reason we got overweight is because we couldn't control how much we were eating or actually believed that's the amount of food an individual should eat during a given meal. We need to stop eating four or five slices of pizza simply because it tastes good....unless of course you don't plan on eating anything else that day. You eat a couple of slices slowly....you feel full...you stop eating. That's how it should work with any food if we are truly making a lifestyle change. If we continue with bad habits well gain the weight back once we stop dieting. Start by eating less each time you sit down because if you start making excuses for pizza well then what about the juicy 16 ounce steak or those yummy bbq wings at the pool party or the bread sticks at Olive Garden or....


Just learn to slow down and eat a normal portion.

you know what i did last night? there was nothing good in the house so i ate some random burnt pizza crusts from a plate sitting by the sink from my brothers frozen pizza he cooked last night (you know what leaning tower ones?). Don't make my mistake, that was 300 calories (i weighed it of course) for bad pizza! if you don't give i to your cravings once i a while you may blow out your calories on burnt pizza crusts in desperation like me. I went over my calorie goal for those too!I walked briskly for an hour today to make up for that too!

*feels the need to hug you*

But yeah @ OP, I just pick the most similar, and highest calorie, item in the database when there isn't an exact match... I am surprised no one has suggested you weigh each slice then back into each ingredient by the gram *gasp*, lol.

A normal portion for me MIGHT be a whole pizza.
