Why don't you just eat it and make it fit your targets then? Or alternatively, make your own pizzas, it is fun and you can control how much you put on them.

Sounds like you're half-assing it. Get some good pizza.

I'm too lazy to make my own.. And then on top have to calculate the nutrition stuff.

Lol no, I get decent pizza when I get it.. It's just not the same as I imagine it

So you're lazy? No sympathy. You want something in life go get it, simple as that.

Then just remember how much of a letdown it is and don't order it.

It's very rare I'm disappointed in pizza, but I do sometimes feel that way about McDonalds. It never lives up to my childhood memories. So I don't get it. Unless I'm on the road, 100 miles from home, it's the only option, and I'm starving.

The lazy was sarcasm. Never said anything about looking for sympathy. Pizza isn't something I want to "go get"... It's not a major life goal like that comment sounds lol

I usually try to do that.. It always seems to still tempt me tho.. It always looks sooo good when I see ppl on tv enjoying it! It always looks cheesier on tv too lol

Yeah, that's why I just don't bother with McDonald's (and its hamburger joint cousins) anymore. After years of not eating it, I thought I'd treat myself one day... imagine my surprise and disappointment to find that it just tasted like salty grease. No thanks.

For the pizza... wish I could help you. I'd pretty much kill to be able to eat a slice of real NY pizza again, but doing so would probably mean a week of stomach aches (I'm gluten sensitive). Either you learn after the first let down or two, you find better pizza, or you just keep letting yourself down!

Pizza is always better than I expect it to be... I say, "OK we'll order pizza but only let me have two pieces" and then I end up out eating my BF haha. It is a serious trigger for me.

Tomorrow I made room for half a pizza (8 slices total LOL) in my macros, I am so excited! LOL My coworker and I split, and I eat it a little at a time over the second half of my ten hour shift. :smokin:

I think is a thing of modeation. Get ur pizza but with less cheese or whatever.

Best thing, as mentioned above, make your own pizza. You can choose the toppings that fit in your diet.

Listen to Italian songs and you feel like in a real "pizzeria"

Now I want pizza.

Read my mind. At a more basic level, we're just programmed to desire these things. I'd say if as a whole we were able to figure out how to get away from processed salts/sugars the majority of the World wouldn't be so out of shape to begin with, These are addictions we must break with time.

I've always wanted to try NY pizza! Maybe I should visit NY to try it.. Maybe it wouldn't be a let down then!


Reading everyone's comments is making me more tempted lol

I was a sad panda the last time I bought fudge striped cookies. I LOVED those things as a kid, so I bought some and worked them into my goal, and then they just didn't taste as good as I remembered.

CRAP, now I'm craving pizza, too. :P

I agree though, most of my cravings these days turn out to be a bit of a letdown. Which is a disappointment to me. Ah, well!

I did the same thing recently!! I figured out they didnt taste sa good because they no longer fit around my finger, which was my preferred method of holding them while eating as a child :laugh:
