No food is bad, in moderation.

I always make my own and NO not with cauliflower crust I can cheat and still make it healthy and good! I buy my dough at the local pizza place ( un cooked) the use 1/8 th of dough and stretch the crap out of it .. Love thin crust any way then grab the toppings at go! I always put cheese on last , seams to make the taste more obvious since I use so little. Come to about 400 cals and this is large! . Lots of veggies

I commend you! :flowerforyou: My boyfriend and I grill pizzas. Everything from scratch except the cheese. We don't make the cheese lol. We grow everything else though. Tomatoes, bell peppers, lots of herbs, jalapenos..... and if we want extra stuff, we buy as fresh as possible and work out harder that night. Not that big of a deal!

I love places that serve pizza by the slice. One slice is enough to satisfy my craving, and it isn't more calories than I would use for a meal.

As others have mentioned, eating something like a Dominoes would be the full calorie intake for some people, so it wouldn't be worth it.

I personally enjoy pizza, and I get thin n crispy crust pizzas, usually the roasted vegetable ones. The whole pizza is usually around 750 calories, so you could get away with eating the whole thing, splitting it in half and having some rustic oven cooked chips is just as nice. Throw in some low cal mayo and ketchup - lovely!

I'm not sure why everyone's talking as if you have to eat the WHOLE pizza! I eat two slices MAX and I'm stuffed- I assume most women are the same/in relation to their weight.

I just ate one piece for lunch and it was 225 calories with my toppings and I was satisfied. It was just a splurge for me on one of those frantic days.

Isn't this where someone jumps in and starts talking about how cauliflower is awesome?

Seriously, though, how can anyone defend pizza as a "good" food? It has white bread, which has almost no nutritive value and has gluten in it; cheese, which has way too much protein and fat and probably has hormone issues; oil, which is non-nutritive; and tomato sauce, which is fine. Plus the toppings, most of which are meat, and most of which are too high in fat and protein, and could have all kinds of hormone issues as well.

To make it healthy, you'd need gluten-free dough, goat or soy cheese, way less oil (and probably healthier oil), with the tomato sauce. Plus maybe some healthier toppings.

Does anyone have any home-made/healthier pizza recipes to share? That, I could use right now.

Just kidding.

But seriously, as other have said--a balance of carbs, proteins, and fats are necessary for every single person's diet. I'm not sure why you villify some and champion others. Seems like categorizing "good" and "bad" foods are pretty subjective. For instance... I wouldn't eat soy cheese... It's bad.

Bad... bad... cheese.
