Pizza and burgers are really made up with the same criteria of ingrediants. They both usually when made to its fullest extent contain all the basic food groups - veggies, protein and bread

But they also contain fat, salt and sugar

But whats worse ? Is there a better one over the other? A greasy burger or greasy slab of pizza?

Debate below!

    It's really not a debate. There are so many varying factors for either one, there's no point even comparing them. Apples to oranges.

    Yeah I was gonna make an ingrediants thing but it was too hard for my brain

    But I was thinking anyway people can try think for me haha

    But a burger is mostly meat and a pizza is mostly bread

    This is true but when I'm biting into a generously topped meaty or chicken pizza I actually forget there's bread in my mouth. The *kitten* is so magnificent in your mouth. I take it you prefer burgers then. Is this an occasion type meal btw?

    I actually prefer pizza because I don't struggle to keep it together

    Whenever I have a burger lettuce falls, tomatoes fall Im like *kitten*.. This is too much of a struggle

    Then your hands get all sloppy with mayo (or greek yogurt) and meat juice

    God...

    You've clearly never experienced the wonder that is the meatza. Not a bit of bread in sight.

    So glad you asked this. I think pizza is more nutritious only because its the lesser of two evils.

    One pizza slice has 295 calories, 9g fat (4g saturated), 38g carb, 10g protein. (Bet you can't eat just one).

    A 1/4 lb burger and bun (without cheese or condiments) has 360 calories, 19g fat (7g saturated), 23g carb, 25g protein.

    actually pizza per slice will vary from place to place or how its made,what its made with,toppings,etc and so on. same way with a burger

    How about a burger but with 2 slices of pizza instead of buns?

    I am definitely doing this one day.

    I think youre ruining the joy of the pizza and burger separate

    They have to be enjoyed as one

    Worse? What is the criteria? Taste? Satiety? Calories per gram? What are you trying to accomplish, mass gain or fat loss? There is no way to even start to get into which is "worse", depends on too many subjective things.

    Personally, I like them both.

    The question is which is worse, pizza or burger?

    The answer is kale. It is always kale.

    Kale is definitely the worst. Unless you can find a good way to work it into the pizza or burger.

    Depending on a person's goals, both or nether. There is nothing intrinsically bad about either one though.

    Burgers are pretty healthy , especially homemade . Endless healthy topping choices and a good quality meat full of protein . Dozens of healthy bun choices . And pizza is all good every now and then .

    I've eaten pizza every day for the last 3 weeks I've worked from home and it's been glorious.

    It varies too much depending on ingredients and goals so it is impossible to say.
    I eat both regularly so I don't think either are bad for me. Some pizza or burgers are higher calorie than others but I choose things that fit my goals.
    Neither choice has to be greasy or high sodium, high sugar, etc. They are both easy foods to make at home adjusting ingredients to suit your goals if you don't like restaurant offerings.
    Why pick on pizza or burgers? Why not debate which is worse between a sub sandwich vs quiche? It makes as much sense.

    Surprisingly, I haven't really wanted pizza recently. It tastes fine, but I'd rather eat a burger.
