I'm treating my team of agents to some Little Caesars pizza today for lunch. It's so tempting that I'm thinking about having a couple slices. 2 slices of cheese pizza is 500 cal and 24 g of fat. I've been under calories everyday for the last 3 weeks. What do you guys think? Should I indulge in this cheesy goodness??

    If it fits into your calorie goals, have a slice or two but be mindful it is easy to fall off track.

    I personally wouldn't, but that is just me.

    Look, I am all for days off (I do one each weekend) but I'd like to point out 2 big things that scream red flag to me.

    1. Quality. I have had Little Caesars once; I was GMing and my players surprised me with it as a thank you for the work I put it. I ate it- because I was hungry but it was really not the best. Quality food tends to be about 110% of the calories as poor quality food as they don't fill it with as much air. So if I had to choose between 2 slices of Little Ceasrs and 2 slices of my mother's pie, I'd go home cooked all the way and enjoy the 550 calories so much more.

    2. You started the event. I am from the South- if someone brings me food I will at least nibble it. So I have a flexible 'day off' in case someone has a party or what not. When I host, I cook clean and healthy so I can enjoy without burning a day off. But you decided to give people cheap, fatty pizza. Perhaps you wanted to place yourself in a place where you have to have the 'cheesy goodness' to look socially acceptable.

    It's just pizza. Where people fail is when they eat a medium pizza by themselves..................for a snack.

    Be like Weird Al and just eat it.

    Really, it's only 2 slices and 500 calories for lunch doesn't seem extraordinarily high to me. I'd probably eat the pizza and a side salad with real dressing.

    Yes, considering it's hot and ready...

    Take an average of what your calories would be with the pizza for the whole week and what your daily calorie deficit goal is. If you end up with a smaller deficit if you eat 2 pieces, only have one and celebrate. If you'd end up the same or greater deficit than planned, indulge in 2 and celebrate :)

    500 calories for one meal should be manageable! I do that all the time and still stay under my 1400 calorie goal for the day. Just avoid the other high calorie items - supplement with veggies and such.
