    5. The Golden Rule: don't ever eat. Always leave the table feeling you can eat a little bit more.
    Don't ever eat? Ever ever ever? Like forever and ever?
    I love pizza, but I love me more.

    It's seems logical that it's a typo and should say "over eat", givne the next sentence.

    How I eat pizza while losing/maintaining weight....
    Put piece of pizza on plate. Oh heck, put two there.
    Carry plate to table. Eat pizza, fork optional. Napkin essential.
    Decide whether or not to have third piece by checking calorie use for the day and/or checking how hungry I am.
    Repeat steps one and two as needed.

    That sounds miserable and no one should do that to themselves.

    BTW, you're not burning 750 calories an hour weightlifting. HRMs vastly overestimate calories burned during strength training.

    ok, so what is the point of you telling me that?

    HEY !!!!!!!! I eat pizza a lot. I also use the cauliflower pizza crust recipe and it is great. I use kale chips when I need chips and the fake French fries from green beans are WONDERFUL. There are a lot of things you can do--after all skinny people eat pizza too--just not the whole thing.

    I ate pizza for dinner last night ... Usually, I use low carb flat bread and make mine at home ... VERY LOW calorie! but last night I wanted pizza hut ... I simply go to their website, plug in the pizza I want and make sure its within my allotted calories. I love pizza and I still eat it ... So enjoy your pizza just know when to walk away ... and the very best thing for me is to "EAT SLOWLY" ... chew slow and wait for your tummy to say "ok, im full" .. I ate 2 slices last night ... drunk some water ... and was good to go! AND still finished with roughly 1427.5 calories ... ( my intake for the day is 1500)!
    Happy Pizza night to you!

    I would say not to continuously eat the same thing, because other than your tongue wanting to commit suicide for some tasty action. It will probably limit your nutrient intake. I ate the exact same meal for a month and by the end my body wouldn't stop trying to hurl when I put a fork to my mouth.
    Plus you'll end up quitting your diet if you hate it. Life's long, food should remain awesome for the duration.
    You can eat anything so long as it's in your calorie limit and still lose weight.

    I hate fruit.. especially fruit. I do however love veggies. fruit has a weird texture.

    Oh yea I eat pizza too. I just watch my servings and fit it into my calorie goals for the day.

    How I eat pizza while still losing weight:

    Step 1) Make sure I end the day in a calorie deficit, no matter what I eat.
    Step 2) There is no Step 2.

    This. I eat pizza.... I lose weight.

    That's not an easy question to answer. There's a lot of disagreement to it; however, one thing knowledgeable people pretty much all agree on is that HRMs vastly overestimate lifting calorie burn. For various reasons, heart rate increases during lifting are not matched by a corresponding increase in energy usage by the body; as a result, HRMs, which estimate calories through heart rate, overestimate calorie burns. Personally, I generally add about 50-60 calories per hour to what my Fitbit estimates for the lifting time period. Other people do different things. For people who insist on using the HRM in this way, I generally suggest they knock 40% off the number it gives them.

    Make homemade pizza. Less calories and fat. Tastes just as good, just not as greasy....or costly.

    Just can't pair pizza with things like potatoe chips etc cuz that has carbs on top of carbs and it will raise your blood sugar to cause you to gain weight.

    ITT: people not fully grasping what a carbohydrate is

    when you knock off 40% weightlifting doesn't really burn that many calories, but I will give it a shot

    I have a FitBit and a HRM but after a few months I've observed that my TDEE must be higher than I think. I lose about 1.5lbs/week and I regularly eat 1850calories/day. I am losing a free .5lb on average. Why don't you just include your exercise in your calculations and then watch what your body does or does't do. Either I'm grossly over reporting (which is not happening, lol I weigh and eat every last gram of food) or those gadgets are not entirely accurate.
  • Eating Pizza without gaining weight is completely do-able. Just can't pair pizza with things like potatoe chips etc cuz that has carbs on top of carbs and it will raise your blood sugar to cause you to gain weight. If you have a smaller amount of pizza with something like a salad though then it will balance out your blood sugar keeping it stable and you will still lose weight even if eating it.

    Cici's Pizza... each slice is 200 cal (average) and you can make it work if you plan that day.
    Also they have salad.

    Well you have to consider the benefit of keeping or building lean mass, afterburn, and does nobody appreciate bone density anymore?!?

    i don't really think about those things, i'm a numbers person. I guess when i'm sweating my *kitten* off and lfiting weights and i see I've only burned 280 calories for 40 mins kind of a let down
