Pizza, seriously?

A SINGLE slice of pizza could possibly contain ~300 calories? Seriously?

I know it depends on different factors but that's just too much for an average.

What are your thoughts?

Some pizza can contain 800 cals per slice. 300 sounds about right though, there is bread, cheese and grease involved. Plus meat if you add it

I've lost weight eating pizza.... it's all about moderation

Mmmmmm..... Pizza! If I can fit it into my calories, I enjoy the *kitten* out of pizza!

I agree with Jazi, moderation is key

Good luck to everyone in their continued fitness goals!

1 slice of pizza hut's meat lovers pizza is 470 cals. 300 is probably for a slice of cheese pizza.

I make a veggie pizza here at home using the refrigerated pizza dough. Once pizza feeds my family of four and is about 315 calories per person. Of course, I'm not a huge meat eater but as long as I put fresh Mozerella cheese on it, the kids are pretty happy.

Yes, a lot of foods are shockingly high in calories. Just be aware, measure, and use your calories wisely.

You are 19, and bulking?


I don't see what the problem is.

My thoughts are that pizza is delicious and totally worth the calories in moderation.

Watch the packaging of the frozen pizzas. They are getting somewhat better but some brands with be an 8" pizza at 600 calories per serving 4 servings per container. Next time your in the frozen foods dept take a look and prepared to be jaw dropped.

I'd say that's damn good for pizza. My daughter brings home deep dish cheese pizza, I'd swear that's about 700-800 Cals a piece! Problem is once you start eating, how can you stop at just one or two slices!:noway:

Doesn't stop me from eating it. Or losing weight.

I don't see what the problem is.

Problem is; I'm bulking, trying to gain mostly muscle mass not lots of fat.

I used to eat a whole pizza at one sitting, I was also 19, but at 180 lbs, took me +3 months to work that off and I don't want it to happen again..

Take a look at the sodium! It's equally shocking!

You can do a lot better than pizza, with meat and starchy vegetables to get your protein, fat and carbs.

It makes me SAD. Moderation + Pizza don't go well together, so I should probably stop at one slice? LOL!

That's what I've been doing, and been enjoying it so far.
It just came to my mind that I haven't had pizza in a really long while.

*shrug* there are worse things...like burgers. Cheeseburgers are one of my favorite foods...and I eat them sometimes...still in decent shape.

I just ate a whole pizza to myself! It was about 850 cals for the whole thing. A dr oetker Ristorante funghi frozen pizza. I can't do moderation either.
Crazy thing is, it wasn't that which blew my calories for the day, it was the dutch apple pastries that did for me!

If you like pizza, you just gotta work it in as best you can.
