    I would just multiply the nutritional information by 5, divide by 4 and eat a quarter of it. Or, if it is in the database here I would still eat a quarter of it, but add it as .25 of the entire package.

    That's what I do!

    If its a square just cut it top to bottom into 5 rectangles..yeah it wont be a triangle but it'll be even..5 long slices :)

    Sometimes the simplicity of things blows my mind. :laugh: Way to go, vondarche. :bigsmile:

    Just tell the pizza maker to cut the pizza into 5ths (5 pieces). But you need to know the size to get more accurate calorie count. Also you can always draw a circle and cut it into 5 equal pieces. Remember a fraction of Anything is the Whole Thing cut into equal pieces of whatever the bottom number is.

    1/5th of a pizza is actually pretty big! Most Medium and Small pizzas are cut into 1/6 (6 Slices) a Large is usually cut into 1/8 (8 slices).

    A lot of frozen pizzas are set up that way (1/5) is a serving. I've even seen 1/6 as a serving....Rarely do I eat pizza anymore, and when I do it better be worth it and I'll probably eat a little more than 1/5 depending on the size hehhee...

    thanks, its frozen shaped as a square....lol do i need to break out the ruler and measure equal squares? omg im nuts, maybe i should go running while my husband gobbles up the pizza

    No, break out the scale and weigh the portion in grams. Log it. Done. :)

    Why did it take 2 pages to find the simplest answer?!?!?!

    This, Math is easy.
