At 310 to 370 calories for half the pizza, Its a heck of a compromise between all-out pizza-fest and, well, not.
I might just have to pick up the pepperoni one. I already have Guinness at home. Total of 525 plus maybe some carrots and snap peas.8 -
Good advice (if you have the calories spend them!) I love pizza and beer!
I also look at my calories as a aggregate - 1400 calories x 7 = 9800 calories per week. Some days I eat more than 1400, sometimes less.
I have been on a Paleo / Keto-ish meal plan (low, low sugar/carbs and high protein/fat/fiber) of about 1400 calories (since January I have lost 23 pounds). And... I am only complaint calorie wise about 75% - 80% of the time. And while I try to be low sugar and low carb all of the time, I am not. But, when I am:- I don't crave sugar (I have an entire box of Charms Wild Berry Blow Pops in my file drawer that I haven't touched since November because I don't crave sugar; I once measured my stress level by how many of them i consumed in one day);
- My moods are more even and I don't have blood sugar spikes and crashes; I feel better.
- By consuming more healthy fats my joints don't hurt as much and I am more or less satiated on 1400 calories.
- I used Paleo Leap and Paleo Tribe for the recipe ideas (they have some great low calorie recipe options) but this isn't necessary. I do think preparing and eating food that I make as opposed to boxes or eating out has helped me a lot. Boxes say they are low carb (but they have lots of other additives in them to make them taste good.)
Also, the recipes are low calorie and help me to stay on track. I plan my menu and shopping list before I go to the store and I usually shop around the edges and get veggies, meat, some dairy and that's it.
BTW - here is a recipe for "FAT HEAD PIZZA DOUGH" http://www.ditchthecarbs.com/2015/04/23/fat-head-pizza/.
I also sometimes just take vine on Campari Cocktail Tomatoes and let them ripen for a week or two and slice them and put them in the oven on a cookie sheet and dry them out a bit so that they are almost dried out but not quite and top them with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning and then run them under the broiler with some mozzarella... they really satisfy my pizza craving.

I totally feel you, This is all I wanted to do tonight, I finally decided on making stuffed peppers with cauliflower rice and ground turkey, tomorrow's my birthday so I know there will be some amount of cake being eaten.1

Re: the tiredness - how many calories have you been averaging per day? Not eating enough = tired and hangry for me. I understand not feeling up to testing your resolve on some days, though. Whatever you have tonight, I hope you enjoy it!
I was wondering this as well.
@tricia5715 what's your weekly weight loss goal and how many pounds do you have to lose total?
I get wanting pizza after complicated taxes - spent pretty much all day Saturday on mine.0 -

But how much have you been eating? Trust me, we're not picking on you! But in terms of long-term success, it really does matter.1 -

I'm eating - my food diary is open. I am meeting my daily calories. I start off w/Oatmeal and fruit for breakfast, omelet for lunch one day, burger and salad for lunch one night, mooshu chicken for dinner another night. I appreciate the support - not feeling picked on
I'm thinking I'm going to stop and pick up the DiGiorno pizza, I have Coors lite at home. Before eating I am going to take a shower and put on my jeans and a sweatshirt and have a nice dinner.8 -
Your diary must just be open to friends. At any rate, glad to hear you're eating well and meeting your calorie goal! Many times around here that's not the case Yay, pizza!2
-
Can't see it either.
Just, I thought you were going to drink beer. What's this Coors Light thing you mention6 -

I am heading out of the office in about an hour and all I can think of is "I want a nice hot pizza and a cold beer." Trying to stay far away from carbs and this certainly is the carbs screaming at me. I've got the angel on one shoulder saying "you worked at it all week - keep it up" and the devil on the other shoulder saying "you worked at it all week - reward yourself" Ugh!
If I was dying for pizza, I would order a Domino's crispy thin crust. My BF and I both prefer thin crust pizza, and cracker crusts are what we like best. Domino's is the first place that we know of, to offer such a crust (we make it that way at home). It's delicious, and you can enjoy more topping and less crust.1 -

That is an incredibly disturbing GIF...anyway, OP you might look to see if you can find Dr. Oetker's pizza at your local grocer. I know near me the only place that sells them is Market Street. It is delicious frozen pizza, an you can generally eat the whole pizza if you want for less than 900 calories. With over 600 cals left for you for the day, that equals 1/2 pizza with a nice side salad and a light beer or small glass of wine. :drinker:2 -
To help with long-term goals, it might be a good idea to find non-food ways of relaxing or rewarding yourself. I don't mean you shouldn't eat pizza if you want it. In my case, I wasn't eating high-calorie meals and snacks because I genuinely wanted the food. It was really about the emotional boost. I know that's true for some people. This might or might not apply to you - just thought I'd mention the possibility.3

What a good idea! Will definitely give that a try.

Technically I'd say death by pizza is suffocation, not drowning.
It sounds awesome though. I'm in.4 -
Pizza is totally doable. Stick with thin crust. Easy on cheese.
Beer is actually more troublesome because it lowers your ability to say enough.
I love Dr. Oekter's line of pizza for frozen pizza.3 -
I would have the pizza, you will manage so much easier by letting yourself have something every once in awhile
Get it, enjoy it1 -
Maybe recognize that on Friday's you are more tired so save a little room during the week, store calories and eat the delicious pizza.1
