Hello. I count calories and I am curious which is better - cutting pizza in sixths or eighths? Is there one that better fits my macros, or is more and/or less clean or paleo that I can do?

Depends how much you eat. If you eat 1/2 pizza, does it matter if that is 3 slices or 4?0

I cut it into two, maybe three pieces. No way I can eat more than three pieces. Thats just crazy.0

I prefer "whole" foods, but you enjoy your slice0

Some pizza entries in the database are for 1/9 of a pizza.
How in the name of cauliflower cupcakes do you cut 1/9 of a pizza?!?!0 -

I don't know. Isn't that what a sextant is for?0 -

I know how I got fat...all I saw was cupcakes0 -
I just eat the whole thing. It's cleaner that way, I think.0

I google image searched "pizza sextant" and I was really confused by the results.
I mean, I even searched with quotes.
I'm more confused than EVER.0 -
Depends how much you eat. If you eat 1/2 pizza, does it matter if that is 3 slices or 4?
Oddly enough, yes.
Let's say you eat your pizza at a rate of 8 bites per slice, if you eat 4 slices that's 32 bites. Whilst swallowing each bite you are also swallowing .25kg/s of air to total 8kg/s over the course of the meal. With 3 slices, 24 bites and only 6kg/s of air expanding your gut.
Q.E.D: Less air = denser. Denser = heavier. Heavier = fatter.
So, the more slices the better for your overall health. Ideally, If you could cut that thing into 50 slices or more, you would be in optimal food to air ratio.
This does need to be adjusted when beer is added to the equation due to increased belching and decrease in food to air ratio.0 -

Hmm.

Math seems to check out.0 -

Air goes into your lungs not your stomach
Start swallowing air instead of inhaling and we'll see how long you and your precious lungs live.0 -
To cut in sixths, use a compass and set the radius to match that of the pizza. Then place the one end of the compass at any point along the circumference and mark the other two points where the compass intersects the circumference. This will give you the width of each piece.0

I make my own pizzas a lot. Sometimes I make them as long rectangular ones, which I cut into 9 pieces - 3 pieces across, 3 pieces down.
I normally cut into 8 pieces if it's round. However I can see how you would cut into 9 that way too. Cut 3 evenly spaced slices, then cut each of those into 3. Easy.
The smaller the piece, the more likely I will eat mindfully, stop after each piece and decide whether I want another. That break in between each piece gives me time to decide whether I have had enough.0 -
I hate it when the serving sizes are sixths of a pizza. How am I supposed to cut a pizza into sixths???To cut in sixths, use a compass and set the radius to match that of the pizza. Then place the one end of the compass at any point along the circumference and mark the other two points where the compass intersects the circumference. This will give you the width of each piece.
Oh. Yeah. That. Uh, thanks. (I think I'll just always eat three or six slices...because Barbie was right...math is hard.)0 -

But not with a pencil because that would be gross.
Also, you could lay a hexagon with the same diameter provided the hexagon was inscribed in the circle and cut from corner to corner thusly.0 -

I just eat the whole thing no matter what.

I don't understand the metric system or biology. I thought this was a support website???0 -
