Papa johns.

It's one meal. And if you're craving it's likely nothing else will satisfy your craving and you might end up eating a bunch of other stuff trying to, then go over anyways. I make pizza every weekend with the two ingredient dough and love it! I'm a pizza lover so this helps me tremendously and I don't go over with it. My pizzas average 650 calories for a 10", and 50 grams of protein. Win win.
That being said, If it were me, I would go for better pizza. I love pizza but papa johns was the only one I ever threw in the trash.1 -

Help!
Cheaper and probably healthier just to get some cardboard and munch on that.
Unless cardboard has some hidden nutritional value we've all been sleeping on, a meal like pizza with protein, fat, carbohydrates and the vitamins and minerals in flour and tomato sauce (along with whatever toppings OP chose) is going to be much more nutritious than cardboard.5 -

Why do people feel the need to impose their tastes on others?

Very glad to hear this! I also would love to draw your attention to @WinoGelato 's first paragraph which nicely summarises, I think, what most of the posters are trying to say.
One meal and/or one exercise session will not make a person fat, thin, or buff. The long term accumulation of single meals and/or single exercise sessions (or lack thereof) WILL actually have an effect.
Your weight varies from day to day (and it would make perfect sense for it to shoot up after you eat something with increased sodium such as a pizza. it will come down a couple of days later assuming you don't continue eating the higher level of sodium and that you use the bathroom regularly
). The long term trend of what your weight does over a minimum 4 to 6 week time period to account for hormonal fluctuations is what matters though.
Managing your weight (and ultimately your health) is a longer term process. To me, at least, it makes sense to try to reduce the difficulty level for things that I have to keep doing long term.
If you are catching yourself thinking about your hard work in a way that implies that you're not happy with the difficulty level... you may want to consider that you are the one who sets your goals and time limits.1 -

But if OP is craving Papa John's specifically (like the post indicates), substituting another type of pizza may not be as satisfying. Presumably she knows what Papa John's tastes like and she knows that she likes it. What else really matters?5 -

And that's how you learn to make the things you enjoy work
Way to go you! (not being patronizing I swear, this seems to be a really big hurdle a lot of people struggle with and you figured it out) 6 -

Yes, when people say "get something better" , they are basically saying, "get something I like". Pizza elitism 5 -

It's really (IMO) one of the most important skills to master for long-term weight control.1 -

Pretty sure I said for her to have it if that's what she said craving and that nothing else would satisfy that craving.
No harm in giving her more information for something she might enjoy in the future or on a more regular basis. That's how people try new things. That how I started trying it two months ago because someone else told me about it. Why are you always so controversial and argumentative? Every time you reply to one of my posts. And to others. People have opinions and information to share.7 -

Glad you got what you wanted and enjoyed it! It's a learning process and learning balance is a huge part of it. Good for you!1 -
I had Papa John's pizza many years ago when I was in Oklahoma, and absolutely hated it. Then Papa John's opened a bunch of stores in our area, but, just a couple of years later, all but one have closed. Do people actually like their pizza?3

I was responding specifically to this: "I agree I would go for better pizza." I don't think you said anything harmful, I just don't see the point of telling OP to get something else when she was craving this, had it, and enjoyed it. People enjoy a variety of things and the fact that you don't particularly like Papa John's pizza didn't seem particularly relevant to OP's craving.
I'm sorry, I don't remember our previous interactions. If you don't want to have conversations with me, you can feel free to ignore any future posts I might make in response to you or in threads you're participating in. I'll try to remember that you don't want me to respond to your posts, but there are a lot of people here and I may not remember you if I see you comment again and feel like joining in the conversation. You're correct that people have opinions and information to share. That includes me too.
I do sometimes respond to other people. I'm not going to apologize for that. This is a discussion board and if we don't have conversations, what's the point?7 -

No. They don't make any money because their pizza is awful... it's just a front for shady, back-room operations.7 -
We get Papa Johns all the time. I have a slice (maybe 2) of pizza, log it, call it a day.0
