Pizza Talk - Spin it on.

Pizza is just like any other food, moderation, portion control and fit it into your daily calorie budget.

My wife mastered pizza dough, or rather hand-stretching it, about a year ago and we have it twice a week. Mine usually comes out at 900 calories or so, which is perfectly manageable on days when I’m burning close to 3000.

The pizza i like is thick crust bacon cheese burger and it is about 500 calories a slice, so i dont eat it anymore. I have about 1400 calories a day, so it doesn't fit for me. 2 slices of it only kept me full for about 2 hours, so totally not worth eating. I hate thin crust pizza, so i just don't ear it.

I make them at home. i use the toppings I love (bacon!! ham, pineapple) but have more control on total calories. I can also plan to make "just enough" so there is no option of over eating unless i want to actually go and make an entire new pizza. I add veggies as filler (raw) and often drink carbonated water to help really feel full.

Still playing around with crust recipes. i'm not ok with thin crust but i want a crust that is...a crust. not pita bread.

So far that has covered the cravings so that when I do go out i'll opt for other things. fish and chips. burger and fries. indian. korean. or whatever random thing i happen to crave. If that falls on pizza and the home made doesn't work then i'll do that

(and no my calorie goal is not as generous as some of the above haha - more like 1400)

thin crust and not all that often (maybe twice monthly)

My favorite pizza crust is a mix of regular and semolina flour and rested in the fridge at least overnight, preferably 24 hours but I never plan that far ahead.

When I make homemade pizza, I just plan to eat it all in one go. Telling myself I'll save some for the next day is self-delusion at its finest :laugh:

Unfortunately I can't control myself around pizza. I didn't touch it for the entire time I was in loss mode. Even now in maintenance I only eat it once a month or so and still force myself to do an extra workout to makeup for the excess. I could literally finish an entire large thin crust pie by myself if I wanted to. As it stands, I generally limit myself to 4 slices ( usually about 1500-1600 calories worth).
