Dealing with left over pizza

My husband and I finally started buying frozen pizzas, it's crazy that while we used to order 2-3 large pizzas and polish them plus a couple two liters of coke off in a weekend now we are perfectly satisfied with one small-ish frozen pizza. I keep plenty of goodies in the house because the moment I decide I want a snack and I don't have it in the house is when I hit up an ice cream shop for a monster sundae. Right now I have chocolate covered bananas (130 cals) and mini ice cream snickers (80cals) in the freezer along with frozen veggie French bread pizzas (260 cals per good sized piece).

I don't like to feel deprived and when I start thinking in terms of depriving myself of what I like I start resenting my diet changes and bomb it. The other thing that has helped me a TON is looking at my calorie goals as a weekly total rather than a daily. Some days I'm over, some days I'm under but for the whole week it balances out. For example I was over last monday by almost 1,000 calories and over on Tuesday by I think 200 but for the week I was under by 900. Makes it a lot easier to stay on track and not let one bad day derail my success and helps me plan for eating out without feeling guilty, like this coming weekend going to eat at cheesecake factory so I'm going to make sure that most days this week I'm 100-200 under goal so I have plenty of extra space in my calories for a passion fruit mojito and monster slice of coconut chocolate cheesecake!



Oh and for what to do with the pizza: freeze it in individual portions of 1-2 slices so you have a snack when you get a craving!

I hate leftover pizza! It always ends up in my belly.

eat the toppings, ditch the unhealthy crust.

I can't throw food away.

Don't be ridiculous. If you don't want it, throw it out. Or give it to your boyfriend. Your body is not a garbage disposal that has to accept every leftover.

I would throw it out. I never keep leftovers from restaurants or when I cook, since I know there is a high possibility it won't make it to the next day..:)

I have always frozen leftover Pizza, it makes a great lunch to take to work or on days when I don't feel like cooking. I used to make my own Pizza at home all the time for just that reason but I haven't had time to do it lately.

If my boyfriend ordered 2 whole pizzas knowing that I was trying to watch my food intake I would shoot him..

Is there someone close by you could give it to? Everyone loves pizza

Do you have a Costco around? Or anywhere that sells pizza by the slice (or two)? That's one way I'll indulge a pizza craving.

Some pizzerias have pizzas that are like half the calories of the traditional type. They usually have very thin crusts. Papa Murphy's 'DeLite' pizzas are really good. When in doubt, go for thin crust.

And obviously don't order a pizza per person. Like others have said, order half his topping, half your's. He can suffer with a normal portion.

Do you have dogs? I have trouble throwing food out. They help.

I get a salad and one slice of pizza. I have to go to the local restaurant for it . No delivery. It satisfies my need for pizza without over doing it. Moderation is the key.
