    You think a pizza cut into 5 equal slices has anything to do with a pentagon???

    Bro, DYEGeometry?

    If each of the sides of the pentagon is tangent to and centered with respect to the circle, then yes. Quite precisely.

    DYEChryslerLogo?

    Have you ever tried to freehand a pentagon???

    I have.

    It's not pretty.

    Maybe I could buy/make some pentagon templates that I could lay on the pizza, mark the corners and the center and connect the dots from there. I just need some templates in common pizza sizes.

    But without a template, this pentagon talk is worthless.

    Maybe you need a protractor?

    1 whole pizza divided into 5 slices - each slice is .20 of the whole pizza.
    1 whole pizza divided into 8 slices - each slice .125 of the whole pizza.
    .125 divided by .20 is .625.
    So if you eat 1/8 of the pizza, and the entry in MFP is for 1/5, you ate .625 servings of 1/5th a pizza.
    If you eat two slices, you ate 1.25 servings of 1/5 a pizza.

    Or if the entry has the amount for the whole pizza, just eat 2 slices, 1/4 of the pizza and say you ate .25 of the whole pizza. Or if you eat only one slice, you ate .125 of the whole pizza. But personally, I'd eat more like 3 slices :)
