How does one go about counting calories when it comes to pizza? :smile: I love pizza but am terrified to eat it as I have no idea how to count the calories! Do I starve all day so that I can enjoy 2 or 3 pieces of pizza for dinner?

    I use the APP and go by the brand/chain I'm eating at. I usually order what's on the app so I know for sure what I'm eating...

    just search the database for pizza hut and the topping you had - i wouldnt say you have to starve all day to enjoy it, just exercise a bit more in the day

    ^^ This, if it's a chain. (Icut the last part off because I don't believe you ever know exactly what you are eating with a chain restaurant)

    If it's homemade I enter all the ingredients and enter the number of slices (6-8 usually) as the serving size.

    I sometimes start off with a delivery or frozen cheese pizza and add my own toppings, in which case I enter the web site info for the pizza into the recipe section and then enter the toppings I added.

    I try to order from chains now just so I get an idea (even if slice sizes vary). Otherwise I just look for the worst cheese pizza and enter that one.
