Considering Pizza

Considering pizza tonight for dinner. Two slices, plain cheese, Little Ceasar's deep dish. It will not take me over my sedentary calories, nor any of my macros. I've eaten healthy today and worked out. Yet I feel afraid. It just feels forbidden. Too yummy for what I am trying to accomplish at here. Not sure if I should just go with the steak and veggies I planned on originally.

Meh! Get the pizza. You might save more room if you don't get the deep dish. When I'm a good girl and want pizza on a Friday night, I get it. And it's amazing.0

If you eat the pizza and satisfy the craving and it doesn't put you over any of your goals, why not? A lot of weight loss plans fail if you never let yourself eat -anything- that you want.0

Go for it! I had pizza for dinner tonight with a big serving of steamed vegetables.0

If you've been good treat yourself !!!! You deserve it. Its no harm done if your not above your calories Its better to have little treats every now and then than restrict yourself to the point where you explode and have an enormous binge.
I love an occasional bit of pizza too but I do myself a mini one made with half a pitta bread toasted, then healthy tomato sauce (pureed tomato with basil) then cheese (low fat feta or mozzerella) mushrooms, red onions and chicken or prawn or whatever then oven it until its all crispy and melty. If I have the time I will even just make pizza dough using cauliflower instead of flour so its completely carb free and still delicious x0 -
Yep! If you can fit it into your macros do it! I ate a whole large pizza last night. so I could carb load for today's lift!!! I do half the amount of cheese to cut a lot of fat out but still delicious!0

Pizza is a perfectly healthy food choice. I do not, for the life of me, understand why it's ever on the "unhealthy" or "forbidden" list for people.
If it fits, eat it - and enjoy the crap out of it.0 -
Go for it! I make my own pizza (50% white 50% WW flour) @ 374 a slice with 3 cheeses, mushrooms, turkey sausage, and pepperoni. Shoot me an IM if you want the recipe.0

If it fits, it sits, right? I had pizza just the other day GUILTY FREE cause I was walking around for hours before that. It definitely fit. And - I stepped on the scale the next morning and still lost some weight!0

Part of changing your body into fit and healthy is mind set.
The longer you think of foods as forbidden the more difficult it will be for you to achieve your goals and maintain them.

Awesome advice all around. Thanks much! I think part of the fear was the thought of ordering a whole pizza and having enough discipline to stop at two slices. I'll just go for a mini like some of you suggested. Thanks again:-)

I have a really good pizza recipe with the meat being the crust (I use ground turkey or chicken). About 111 calories per slice. If anyone would like the recipe, let me know. It is a really simple one.0
