Do you eat pizza every week?

If you are able to fit it in your calories? I do once a week. 1 slice of fresh prepared cheese pizza at whole foods is 235 calories. I know I fit the calories into my deficit but I always feel like when eating things like pizza or a fried chicken sandwich from chick fila ( which is 440 calories) that I'm hauling my weight loss. Anyone else feel this way?

    Do fit it into your calories? If so then it shouldn't hurt your weight loss.

    I don't eat it every week but I like to go out on weekends to nicerish restaurants so I save my calories for that... if it fits your calories and macros nothing wrong with having pizza weekly

    Just about. I had a couple slices of Papa Johns (the only national chain I'll eat) Hawaiian BBQ two nights ago.

    no way! I guess I could eat pizza if I just ate the toppings, but I haven't reconciled with that yet. No crust with tomato sauce in the world is going to fit into my 23 grams of carbs a day..

    Absolutely! I can't live without my pizza,however I've grown to love thin crust,frozen pizza so I can keep an eyeball on the calories and buy the small ones to limit myself but I do still eat from the chains just not as many slices and not as often

    I make pizza from scratch as often as I have time. At least once every two weeks, more if I can. I also make flat bread pizzas on occasion for lunch when I'm in the mood.

    Absolutely! I do it quite regularly. It's just like any other food if I want it and can fit it in I'll have it.

    I do find that I've become quite the pizza snob, though. I'll only accept very high quality, crazy fresh pie and I savor every delicious bite. I used to just inhale several slices of cheap whatever pizza and barely pay attention to it.

    On a side note, I recently learned that CFA puts butter on the bun of their sandwich and if you ask them to hold it you can save several calories. Their website says it's 380 calories and I personally don't miss the butter.

    Yep, once a week with my kids. I work out extra just for it and don't weigh myself for a few days after.

    More than once per week. I just ate a whole frozen pizza. I was supposed to eat half. Oopz. lol. I think I still stayed at maintenance though so it's all good. I'll have a bit of a lower day tomorrow. :smiley:

    I have it planned into my financial budget only once a month.

    Almost every week. I do a vegan style pizza from Pizza Fire every Sunday, and I have lost 20 lbs since April. I do create a very drastic calorie deficit during the week to allow for two treat meals on the weekend tho, and pizza is usually one of them. :) Sounds like you're doing great!

    A large frozen thin crust CPK BBQ chicken pizza is only 910 calories for the whole thing - you better believe I eat that by the pie.
