    Lol, the replies in this topic are a bit funny.
    Anyway, if I'm going to eat something like a pizza, it better be a small one. And even then, I only eat a 4th of the entire thing.
    Now.. how do I get a 9th of it? I don't know, scissors? lol.

    lol @ cutting a pizza. just rip it apart with your bare hands when it's fresh out of the oven like a man.

    Good luck with your 3rd degree cheese burns.

    One way I find to eat pizza that helps with weight loss is that I eat it right out of the oven without waiting for the pizza to cool off at all. That way, it scalds the roof of my mouth, and I shed flesh there for days to follow.

    Don't mind me, I'm just going to sit here and gaze upon your remarkable strategic prowess in doe-eyed wonder...

    If the serving size says 1/9 pizza, you must look at the servings per container. (Fyi: How many servings it provides.) So if servings per container says 9 SERVINGS PER CONTAINER, then 1 slice out of the 9 is 370calories (or whatever amount it states for calories).

    Depends how much you eat. If you eat 1/2 pizza, does it matter if that is 3 slices or 4?

    I couldn't stop laughing, you sir/madam win the internet for the day ;)

    I cut it into two, maybe three pieces. No way I can eat more than three pieces. Thats just crazy.
    Definitely, more than 3, is just too much!

    How am I supposed to cut a pizza into nine equal pieces?? First I would have to make a perfect peace sign and then somehow trisect each remaining section!! You shouldn't need a compass and slide rule to measure calories.

    You should only eat whole foods to lose weight, so eat it whole or you might gain

    Just cut the pizza into little squares, like they do with thin crust pizza on the south side of Chicago.
    Problem solved!
    You're all welcome.

    That's what I was thinking. Just fold it in half and eat it like a big taco...mmm...

    Make a cauliflower pizza crust or us high fiber/low carb tortillas.
    I also like using just egg whites as a pizza "crust"

    or just find out the total calories for the whole pizza and cut it into how ever many even slices you want.

    If you coat the entire slice with oil or ranch dressing it will go down quicker, resulting in less air and it will be more diet friendly

    I just eat the whole thing. It's cleaner that way, I think.
