The foods we can add are so vague. Same pizza can be cut into 2 or 100 slices...

    This is why you weigh them and log grams.

    Cut it into the number of slices you want.

    In general, I found that a medium slice is roughly 100 grams give or take.

    You should not be adding a generic entry for pizza. It's pretty useless. A lot of the entries in the database are useless -- you need to learn to recognize the good ones.

    For pizza, if you make it yourself, create a recipe. If you get a frozen one, use the information on the package (or find one in the database that matches -- it should have a gram option or you can add it). If from a chain place, find the specific information in the database (they will have a standard slice size based on the size of the overall pizza sometimes) or go on their website and then add it. If--and this is something I run into, since I mainly get pizza at local Italian places--you get pizza from some local place without calorie information, you are going to have to guess or find a chain place you know is likely to be comparable, including with the overall size. It still won't be that accurate, but good enough for an occasional meal.

    Not big enough. Some girls just have to accept that some times, a man can explain the point.
