Fat doesn't shock me but the sodium content of most food does. I'm at goal weight and I eat Domino's almost every weekend. Moderation is an essential key for me.0

Make your own pizza?
Will more likely taste better than a Dominoes anyway...0 -
Chain pizza joints are awful in every way
You take that back!
:flowerforyou:
I can't eat anything from chain pizza restaurants anymore but I have great fondness for the memories.0 -
I know what you mean. Before I started watching what and how much I ate, I would eat as much as I wanted!
Now that I'm changing my ways, I realize just how much I ate. One slice from dominos/pizzahut is over 300 calories. It's so crazy that I'd eat up to 5 slices! I don't miss it at all now, especially knowing how bad it is. One slice every once in a while wouldn't be bad. But I'd eat pizza up to 3 times a week.0 -
Like the OP, when I started to look at what calories were in certain foods, I got my eyes opened.
It's not that I ever thought of pizza as a health food (not even veg supreme ) but I honestly didn't realise it was like a whole day's calorie allowance even if you don't eat it all because you always have a bit of garlic bread or some icecream .... I don't think I've ever 'just' had pizza, there's always something else on the side!
My only saving grace is I despise food when it starts to cool down too much so my pizza eating was always regulated by how much I could eat before it reached the hot/cold tipping point0 -
Who eats a whole freaking pizza? I have a healthy appetite but even on a hungry day I couldn't put away a whole pizza!0

Pishh. I love pizza. I could eat a whole one, totally. Maybe half right away and the other half in a few hours...done. I know that I shouldn't...but I don't think that it's craaaaaazy to think of somebody polishing off a whole pizza. I'm sure it happens a lot!
That said, I had Dominos this weekend!
A 10 inch gluten free crust with cheese, garlic, and mushrooms comes out to be 900 calories. I ate half last night (a 450 calorie meal is not unreasonable) and half for lunch today. This was a special treat and does not happen every week, but I don't think it would be the end of the world if it did. Plus, the Domino's website actually has a calorie counter on it and will give you suggestions for lighter options...not too shabby!0 -
Guess my point is you don't have to eat the whole pizza ya know?
Yes, yes I do need to eat the whole pizza...
in one sitting...

Came in expecting the "disgrace" to be about the taste.
How is a whole pizza having 1400 cals disgraceful ? Did Dominos say it only has 800 or something ?0 -
It's hard when my uni friends get two for tuesdays (a flat of four). And everyone gets a pizza to themselves. If I suggest sharing they look at me like I am sick in the head e.g friend has FOUR bloody dips. God help them when their metabolisms change- not to mention how bad it is for you! It's so hard to have the whole pizza sat in front of me and only eat two- I find it easier not to have it at all. I suppose this is my general downfall. I need to recognise when I am full etc.0

I'm not surprised about what's in food. I am very surprised about the number of people who are surprised about what's in food. Not just calories, but nutrition, chemicals, fat content.
This.0 -
You're surprised that an entire pizza, with a decent thickness crust and covered in cheese has that many calories and that when you add ranch and dips to it, it adds up to a lot more? A medium pizza is not meant to be a single serving meal.0

I cannot understand why someone would be shocked at the number of calories in a WHOLE pizza. I am pretty sure I've never eaten a whole pizza in one sitting. I cannot imagine that I ever would.0

I just started reading a book called Bet the Farm. There's quite a lot in the beginning about Dominos. I thought that was what this thread was about!
Good for you, OP. I think it's great that you are educating yourself.0
