pizza, fries, burgers

Want pizza? So have a toasted whole wheat or multigrain flatbread pizza with a pesto base, and an abudance of veggies. Add a sprinkle of low fat cheese on top and enjoy!

Want a burger and fries? Grill up a portobella mushroom cap or your own black bean patty and build your burger on a whole wheat bun with whatever veggies you'd like. Make some baked sweet potato fries with a chipotle-honey sauce to have on the side. Go all-out and even treat yourself to a tasty high-protein milkshake using almond milk, ice, 1 banana, and 1 scoop of chocolate or vanilla protein powder.

You don't have to deprive yourself of the things you enjoy, just come up with healthy alternatives - that way you can satisfy your craving without guilt-tripping yourself!

If you put enough tomato sauce on the base you don't need cheese on a pizza at all

That's one idea, or you could try making one with very, very light cheese on it. You'd be surprised how little cheese it takes to get that flavor. Also, a lot of sandwich wraps and tortillas will work as a very thin crust for a home-made pizza.

But yeah, enjoy the things you love! Just keep it within your calories as much as possible.

This

Yes please

I make pizza using a flat-out wrap. Bake for about 10 minutes to crisp it up, then add sauce, and toppings. I do onion, mushrooms and peppers and lot-fat cheese. For less than 300 calories I have a filling pizza.

Nothing wrong with burgers either. Lean beef on a sandwich thin (you know those flat buns) with sauteed mushrooms and onions (or whatever you like) and your under 400 calories.

As other have said bake some fries. Sweet potato fries are awesome. Just cut them, toss lightly in oil and top with garlic and chili powder and bake. Yum!!!

When people crave pizzas I doubt eating flat bread with tomato sauce is going to fill that craving.
Neither will a black bean burger? Gross. Got to McDonalds and get a quarter
Pounder with cheese, order pizza sliders from pizza hut and replace the buns with
The sliders. PIZZA BURGER,TWO FER!

You just discovered the holy grail!

And there was much rejoicing. Yea . . .

You have motivated me to eat a double cheeseburger with fries tonight and an entire large pepperoni pizza tomorrow!

I wish people would realize that these foods are just fine to eat while on a deficit. Give into your cravings once in a while! It wont hurt so long as you track all your calories and adhere to your calorie and macro targets.

These sound great ! Bump

eat a small portion... like one normal serving. then go for a walk or drink iced water with lemon... never make yourself go into a binge. you can eat a normal serving and not gain weight. it's when you go over board that the weight comes back.

I gave up NOTHING. Just ate smaller quantities of the 'bad stuff' and ate it less frequently.
A couple of donuts a week won't hurt anything as long as you make up for it later -- like only a salad for dinner.
Pizza, burgers, and fries are OK as long as you don't eat the whole pizza yourself or have a triple cheeseburger with bacon and chili-cheese fries every night.
As others have testified -- don't deprive yourself, just have a smaller portion. If you completely eliminate the calorie-dense foods, you're more likely to finally give in, and consume waaaaaaaaaaaay too much of it.
