Husband ordering pizza

itsCheek

So strange to me that she is coming on here for motivation and support and people are acting like posts that say "Shake your head and say no" and pointing out the calories and bad contents that are in pizza are put down and made fun of.

If you're on a diet and trying to be healthy, how does overly processed cheese/dairy, (probably) non-whole grain crust, and sugar-laced pizza sauce work into a healthy diet?! Person A eats 1500 calories of pizza and Person B eat 1500 calories of whole grains and vegetables, who do you think is going to be healthier, have more energy for exercise, and feel better overall and probably slimmer? I assumed she came on here for motivation on how to say no, because if you read her original post it sounds like she DOESN'T want to eat the pizza, and needs some help and a little push to say NO!

Totally go for it! Eat one to two slices as your calories allow, put a salad on the side and/or fruit salad. I have had pizza twice so far in my journey. First time I had one slice and a salad. Second time I had enough calories for two slices. Neither night did I go over my calories OR gain.

It's okay to treat yourself occasionally, as long as you don't eat the whole pie!

Thats exactly the issue, it NOT a diet, its a lifestyle change. We are supporting her by saying she doesn't need to freak out over a slice of pizza once in a while.

Main issue isn't really about the pizza.... its more about the husband's lack of caring or support. Something she needs on her quest to eat health and to get in shape.

Very strong first post. Bravo.

So the hubby can't eat what HE wants because his wife is dieting? BS. If he does eat something he wants he's showing lack of support? Double BS. It's not all about her, it's about him too. If she doesn't want it, she can eat something else.

Sometimes I exercise more just so that I can eat more pizza. You don't have to eat a perfectly clean diet just because you are trying to lose weight. How would you treat this day if you were at goal weight and maintaining?

I eat pizza regularly.

Because we don't think that white flour, fat, dairy, etc are bad, especially not in the context of a diet that is nutrient dense.

225 pounds? FUK YES!

You have 1500 cals remaining. Why wouldn't you eat the pizza?

Well, I really don't know how accurate this is about calories and exercising, but it's also not just the calories. I know pizza is high in fat, sodium, sugar, carbs, stuff like that... and I just can't decide whether or not it would be worth it. Calorie-wise, yeah, no problem, but it's more of everything else I'm iffy about. Figured I'd ask and take a tally if the answers and decide that way. Lol

To repeat the best response in this thread:

Girl, eat the pizza.

The sodium may cause a day or two of water retention, but otherwise, a couple slices ain't gonna kill ya.

Because long term health and maintenance is not measured in how often you say no, but in the moderation of yes. We have pizza all the time, usually homemade. We but quality ingredients, make whole wheat or multigrain crust, and enjoy ourselves. Do I eat a whole pizza by myself? No. I usually have two slices and maybe some salad, fruit or steamed veg on the side. Pizza fills me up too much to have more. And then I have my favourite: cold pizza for breakfast.

Tell me you also eat ice cream and I'll love you forever.

You have enough remaining calories to eat a few pieces of pizza, if you want to. But if you really don't want to, because pizza is generally seen as not a part of your new life-style diet, then don't. In the meantime, tell your husband that if he wants to order and eat pizza, he can eat it in the garage. Sounds to me like he is an insensitive lout, not uncommon for our gender. Doesn't he need to change his diet? High fat, high sodium, high calorie - he needs to pay attention to what he is eating too.

Coming in to dinner with 1,500 left probably isn't the best scenario. Can't really eat it back healthily at that point. Might want to eat more meals during or closer to the activities.

If eating pizza bothers due to oils/salt/lactose, or non-organic concerns, don't eat it. The 3-400 calories from a slice aren't the problem.

craigmandu

Truthfully, I'm more concerned at how you have 1500 calories remaining...1500 calories is a pretty hefty chunk of exercise.

Levi_Hansen

I have heard that it is also possible to make your own food in the kitchen as well.

I rather have a bottle of wine ( 650 calories ) and some cheese if I had 1500 calories left.
