Pizza, seriously?

show previous quotes

a medium slice with pepperoni, green peppers, and mushrooms is 230-240 calories.

considering that i often have days with a TDEE of 3700, i can *EASILY* fit a couple of pieces of pizza into my day.

2 of those pieces would contribute 20g of fat and 18g of protein to my macro goals.

pizza is truly a magical food! :happy:

Maybe if she learned to chew with her mouth closed, but yea. No. Not hawt. Tepid maybe . . .

Yeah seriously. Seriously delicious.

Pizza kicks *kitten*!!! Yes it does!! It's awesome!

You haven't had pizza until you get a real one from Jersey or NYC!

How much fat you gain in a bulk is more about how much over your TDEE you are eating and not the type of food you are eating as long as it fits your macros.

Eating pizza will simply put me over my TDEE, as I said, I wouldn't be able to stop at 2 slices. I know myself very well.

Why is that surprisingly? 300 calories a slice x 2 slices = a perfectly reasonable dinner even when not bulking.

Just 2 slices of pizza for dinner might be reasonable but not really satisfying.

And, eating a pizza automatically puts fat on you how? Nutrient partitioning tends to be much more of a product of total calories, macros and training, not individual foods. A large cheese pizza averages about 290 calories a slice, an entire pie gives you about 100 grams of protein.

I want to eat the entire pie, 4 or even 5 slices would never suffice, which would lead to faulty nutrients partitioning at the end of the day.

So your problem is self control, not pizza? Get a thin crush, light cheese, lots of veggies. Eat the whole thing. Or make it at home.

Funniest thing I have seen in ages

I make so every 10 days a pizza myself. The dough is easy as, you can put on whatever you like and it has a lot less calories and sodium. Try it out, it's is a lot better than the frozen one and pizza hut!

And, I make flatbreads which come in at about 250 calories for the roughly the size of my hand. No cr@p in them either, or excess salt. So, sure for 150 calories or so I can turn them into pizza with homemade tomato sauce and some toppings and cheese (wow, 400 calories a slice, he says ironically), but two of those would SATISFY ME, and even three would probably keep me under my calories if I was reasonably careful for the rest of the day, which I am.

Pizza is NOT a forbidden food. Especially if you do it yourself so there's no nasty chemicals in it ...

Pizza from Dominos and Pizza Hut are dirt; try to find a real Pizzaria [don't forget your post-pizza work out]

pizza is sort of like sex; even if its bad, its still kind of good

This is why I call all of the Detroit pizzerias "rape pizza" (awful, traumatizing sex). Any pizza in this city that isn't from a national chain is just horrible. I don't know why it's so difficult for them to make such a simple dish taste decent here.

yep and that is low

1 slice of pizza hut's meat lovers pizza is 470 cals. 300 is probably for a slice of cheese pizza.

Papa Murphy's Take and Bake, delite crust!!!!!! The veggie with the red sauce has around 160 calories per slice.

We get Papa Murphy's every week and it works great for me. One of my favorites is Murphy's Combo (pepperoni, salami, sausage, black olives, onions and mushrooms) and for a large on Delite crust, it's only 200 calories per slice! If I'm needing/feeling something lighter, I'll get the Gourmet Vegetarian (garlic sauce, spinach, zucchini, tomatoes, mushrooms, artichoke hearts, onions), which is 160 calories for a large on Delite crust.

Easily workable and totally worth it!

Pizza Hut does a small beef sizzler at 76kcal per slice , the whole pizza is 6 slices so you can eat it all for 456kcal x

That is why I make my pizza now. I have more control over what gets put on it and how much. Quality over quantity is my motto.

A SINGLE slice of pizza could possibly contain ~300 calories? Seriously?

I know it depends on different factors but that's just too much for an average.

What are your thoughts?

I will eat about 2 slices and stop....
used to eat like 5 - 8 slices.
