Pizza: complete source of macros and micros

Just saw this article on reddit and I thought it would be a good discussion piece here. This pizza is made to be 30% of the average adults required nutrition (macros and micros). The article doesn't list the calories or macros, just describes it as 30% of what you need every day. So you could theoretically eat nothing but this pizza and be receiving adequate nutrition without needing to take any vitamins. Thoughts?

I don't think that making a super healthy pizza would be all that difficult. The most basic of pizza is simply a crust, crushed tomatoes and herbs, and cheese. There is a nice combination of nutrients there, and if you add some meat and additional vegetables you have a great meal.0

I would thing it is true provided that you made it at home. One slice of some of the major take out here have more than a day supply of sodium. I know that most people do not have to worry about it but as a mom of a renal kid we do. And I feel like people in general get WAY too much of the stuff.0

In moderation (of course) they are fine. Homemade is better. A friend makes AWESOME pizza dough! Of course she makes her own sauce from her own tomatoes. But ready made is not bad. I would stay away from extra cheese. Sadly for me that is what makes pizza pizza. Enjoy.0 -

LOL.
Nah seriously I can totally see it. Pizza isn't that bad, it's when they add a ton of greasy cheeses on it that it gets nasty. My only issue with it is that it's not much food for the amount of calories.0 -
Its the sugar and salt in the pre-made pizzas too. I'd buy this pizza if it makes it in to stores.0

I think it's beneficial to get variety in a diet - eat a lot of plant species with different levels of nutrition.
It's not hard to make a pizza healthy.
Start with :
100% whole wheat dough
Add:
herbs
plain tomato sauce (no corn syrup)
low fat shredded cheese
veggies and chicken, to preference
That's a perfectly respectable meal.0 -
