Was at my brother & SILs house tonight. They got Casey's pizza for supper & invited my hubby & I to stay & eat - we did. After we got home, I logged my food. I am still shocked at the amount of calories in 1 slice of pizza! I ate 3 & had a soda, so I ate over my goal in 1 meal! I'm screwed for the day! ????

    Not the end of the world; one calorie laden day will not derail you. Log it and start tomorrow with a fresh outlook.

    Yeah, I wasn't as concerned about the total today as I was surprised at the amount of calories in ONE slice of pizza! Craziness!!!!

    Pizza is very calorie dense, especially with a thick crust. Thin crust is slightly better.

    The good news is that there is now Vitapizza!! Just came across it for the first time tonight. 190 cals for a personal pizza. Can't wait to try it!

    That sucks! One day won't kill you, though. The worst part (to me) is the wasted soda calories! I don't DRINK my calories so I can enjoy EATING more of them! :laugh:

    Yup, As I've mentioned before, I found out that my favorite pizza in Chicago had 700+ calories a slice, so even when I "only" ate three slices it was a large amount of calories.

    That said, if I plan ahead and incorporate appropriate sufficient exercise, I can still enjoy that pizza once in a while.
