Calorie estimate of an entire deep fried pizza? *Pic*

did you try forcellaeatery.com

Whatever the caloie count - that looks like it was worth it!

How large is the pizza's diameter? That should help figure out how much you inhaled.

Though IMHO, I say to hell with it. Consider it a cheat day and move on with your life. Throw in an extra hour at the gym and march on.

The biggest thing is not to give up. Don't let one little hiccup stop your forward motion.

(Since calories depend on types of cheese/bread, additives, I doubt anyone on this site can give you an accurate calorie count. Studies show most of us underestimate calories anyway. I'd tend to lean towards 2,000 rather than 800 since a cheeseburger and fries can be closer to the 2, and pizza isn't much better.)

mother of god

I'd say 2000 and call it a day.

A lot! lol. I'd guess 1000 at least.

Ok, this is what my nutritionist gave me as a guideline, not hard core science just a good approximation. The longer in the oil the more calories it adds. The lighter the substance the more calories it adds. So if you deep fry red meat, say for country fried steak, it is relatively dense, and cooks quickly so it would be (cube steak +flour)x1.5 = total calories or (248+56)= 304 304x1.5= 456 total calories. but for a deep frid turkey that takes a much longer time... it is 3, for a quick fry of chick strips 2. So chicken, turkey, and pork all are 2-3, you times fish against 3, because no one can figure out a long fry fish recipe that makes sense. Cheese, is 0-1, bread however is 4-5. So if it was just dipped in oil, 4, but if it was there 6 min or more 5. Lets say the pizza was 800 calories before frying. We will stick with four just because there is no other data. 800x4= 3200 calories, or about a pound of fat. I would tell you hit the gym and go back to eating 1200 calories a day. By hitting the gym pretty hard, you will have to push yourself but it can be done. Then you will balance your own deck out metaphorically speaking. You might also end up gaining some muscle that will help you burn those calories off now and in the future.

Jesus man. Way to take the fun out of eating pizza.

OP, i was saying 800 as a conservative guess but I also forgot you said deep fried. Either way I'm licking the monitor.

Hehehe pretty close to what I said to her, 'you just took the fun out of southern food, and you suck'. was my grown up answer to her at the time!

1500-2000. Not tons of cheese but deep fried, lots of thick fluffy dough. Yummmy.

I'd say 2000 easy if it's deep fried (What the heck is deep fried pizza, anyway?!?)

I looked at a frozen grocery store pizza this weekend - thin crust, pepperoni. 16" I think. The whole pizza was around 2,300 calories!

Yours looks fresh and fabulous!

sounds legit

I think it is SO hard to estimate this kind of thing, it's best to just say it was good and move on.

If you wanted a TOTAL WILD BALLPARK, well. You could look up say, a fry bread for nutritional info for the crust, and then estimate the toppings. Deep fried foods are often overestimated, I think, because if they are done right, at the proper temperature, they actually don't absorb as much oil as people assume. Or you could take a similar-sized pizza and add a tablespoon or two of oil as an estimate. But even a tablespoon of canola oil is only 124 calories, so...really it's probably not as bad as you think.

Oh, and for people wondering what it is, they just deep-fry the dough. Add the toppings and finish it off so the cheese gets melty.
