Hello,
So I'd like to eat pizza tonight and based on this -an extra large pizza with my toppings of choice comes out to
343.55 calories . Does this seem right? Doesn't it rather seem very low? LoL my evening shake I make at home is around 600 calories and Pizza (the first item) people on weight loss are asked to quit is 343 ?
Toppings and calories are
Crust 176
Sauce 24
Cheese 71
Feta 15
Black olives 20
Green olives 20
green pepper 2.5
Mushroom 3.5
Pineapple 3.5
Tomato 0.55
Approx 343.55 -since it's human made I know calories can go up and down a bit but still. Does this look right though?
Here is a pdf
https://order.dominos.ca/en/assets/build/images/img/products/ca/Canadian-Nutrition-Guide-Final-Secure.pdf
Last 7 days I've lost only 1 lb -so things are slowing down and I want to make sure I'm not doing anything wrong.

I'd assume that might be reasonable for one slice of thin crust vegetarian. Though it still seems low.0
-
no ones ever asked me to quit pizza LOLOL (course i dont eat much of it ANYWAYS)
looks about right i guess. when i do eat it, even if its homemade, i use an entry from one of the pizza chains, figuring it will be higher than a homemade one, anyhow.0 -
I can only keep a pizza that low in calories if I use a wrap for the base - even then a lean ham, pineapple and tomato with 40g cheddar comes in at just over 400. I'd re-measure.0

No.
An extra large pizza is not 343 calories.0 -
That looks like the nutrition info for one slice, and an XL has 10 slices.0
-
oh i was assuming it was one slice! a whole pizza at that number? no way.0
-
Are these calories for a piece?
Feta 15 - 15cal of Feta is about 5 grams. That is very little.0 -
That has got to be for a single slice.0
-
The link shows that for an extra large, hand tossed, ONE SERVING is A TENTH of a pizza so multiply everything by 10. So your entire XL pizza will be roughly 3435 calories. Sounds about right. Also equal to about a pound of body fat

PDF breaks it down into single serving size, so these numbers are based upon a solitary slice if they are following the PDF link.0
-
It's hard to believe that it's just one slice of pizza.
I've provided the pdf that i've used to calculate. I'll read it again0 -
OH DAMN! IT'S PER SERVING. I'VE CHEATED ON MYSELF WITHOUT KNOWING IT0
-
So I would've lost more weight if it weren't for eating pizza over past several weeks -once a week. I've had 3-4 slices with ease DAMNNNN0
-
that means my deficit is so big that even after inaccurately adding calories I was still able to consistently lose weight and drop in measurement size.
I'm not sure if I should be thankful or start not take a rest day today DAMN0 -
Unfortunately when it comes to calories when it sounds too good to be true it probably isn't...
0 -
The pdf states that the calorie amounts are per serving. And for an extra large that's 1/10 of teh whole thing, ie one small slice.
Enjoy!0 -
It's now been confirmed, but, yeah that's about it for one slice--and a relatively small slice at that. Costco pizza slices are around 770 calories per slice. That's a good benchmark.0

That is PER SLICE dude.0

Make your own. Use a scale an measure every item/ingrediants. Then use MFP to calculate exact calories. I make my own, from the sauce using fresh tomatoes, hunting the ham 
(kidding) -and the pizza dough. It's a lot of calories in the pizza. My homade, which is strictly measured - the cheese,if it's mozarella or not are high on energy(calories) 0 -
You couldn't have really thought an entire dominos pizza was less than 400 calories?0

I did have a concern that how is that an entire pizza was 343 calories and my mom made the same remark but I kept losing weight and dropping size so I didn't look into it much. This week I only lost 1lb and less inches than I would've hoped which made me look at my diet from a new angle.
I was about to have a pizza today so i made this thread and I realized after making the thread it's for 1 slice and extra large has 10 slices.
I always keep a margin of error in my diet -I guess that's what has helped me to continue to lose weight even after this blunder.
I have 1200 calories left for the day today -I guess only 3 slices for me today.0 -
No point in whining about lost time but I could've lost upwards of 4-5 lbs in last three weeks and i lost 2-2.5 lbs in total. SMH0

Which crust? In the US Dominos XL is only available in Brooklyn crust. You have #s for Hand tossed.
Nothing wrong with pizza. The general problem I think is people don't typically eat 1 slice, and add extra meats/cheeses. Be aware of portions, totals...viren19890 wrote: »Hello,

You know what, you're ahead of the game for figuring it out now and being willing to ask questions and adjust. That is worth a lot. Some people stubbornly continue with their misinformed patterns and then can't figure out why they aren't losing as much as they think they should be. Why fool yourself? Better to know and make conscious decisions about what you are or aren't going to put into your body. Is pizza always worth it? Not always, IMO, but I don't think I would be able to stick with my new way of life if it didn't include pizza once in a while. You've got this. Good luck.0 -
It's good that you still lost weight and all, but I don't understand how anyone in their right mind would think an entire extra large pizza is 343 calories. Surely you eat other things and can use common sense to make comparisons. An average banana is around 100 calories.0

I have a love hate relationship with pizza. I love the taste, but to feel satisfied I need 4 slices usually, and I don't often have the luxury of blowing that many calories and not even making my protein/nutrition goals.0

Haha! I always use this as my benchmark too! Not perfect, but better than nothing since around here so many pizza places aren't chains, making calorie tracking hard.0 -

That's still excellent progress, and now you know 0 -

Based on his picture, the OP appears to be pretty young and perhaps really new to this calorie counting concept0 -

He's 26. He's been posting here for well over a month now. OP's posting history shows him to be extremely confused about many things and I'm aware of that. Regardless, age and being new to calorie counting has little to do with common sense. I'm not trying to be cruel to him. As I said, in the end it's great he still lost weight, but I was baffled as to the misconception. I know I'm not the only one. Now he knows and now he can make better choices.0
