I usually eat pancakes for breakfast. I am measuring the calories. Is it ok for me to eat it.

Why wouldn't it be? What do you think it is about the pancakes that would make them not okay to eat?
Do you like the pancakes? Do they fit your calories? Do they fit your other goals? If yes, eat the pancakes if you'd like. If not, then eat something else.1 -
Define "ok". Are you trying to lose weight? Then, yes, whatever you eat is fine as long as you eat under your calorie allowance. Nutritional, maybe not so much.1

Then what are you worried about when you ask if it is okay?0 -
There are no "right" or "wrong" foods to eat to lose weight unless you have a medical condition affected by specific foods. Remember: what you eat matters less than how much you eat and calories in must be less than calories out. Everything else is small stuff.kgarcia1990_ wrote: »The pancakes I eat fit my calories.

I had pancakes this morning.
Sometimes, I add a little apple sauce to the batter, or mashed banana, sweet potato, grated zucchini, or nuts for protein.
This morning, I added a scoop of PB2 to the batter, and they were so good that they didn't even need syrup.
Once in a while, I'll replace the flour in the recipe with Bob's Red Mill almond flour. I'll add a dash of almond extract and a couple of tablespoons of brown sugar. It's higher calorically, but also higher in fiber and nutrition. I find them to be much more satisfying and they keep me full longer. They also don't need syrup or butter to be delicious either.
I'm not really a "health nut" per se. I just really, really like good food.2 -
Then go ahead and eat the pancakes!!!0

My doctor told me not to eat pizza & drink soda anymore because I had an injury on my foot which caused pain & swelling & small case of gout. Since then I have not eaten them for about 2 months & am fully healthy to workout again
You need to specify things like this in your OP.
Has your doctor cleared you for adding back in the foods that you needed to avoid with your gout? If not, perhaps you should discuss this with him/her.

Adding PB2 to the batter is genius, must try!0 -

He told me to avoid eating pizza & drinking soda so that the gout will not come back.
Those are very specific and things contained in those two food items will be in lots of other things. Was that the only specifics he gave you?0 -
If you are worried about it, why not find a different pancake recipe? My wife loves pancakes and gets tired of eggs so I started occasionally making pancakes from whey, coconut flour, egg whites, pb2, and baking powder. They are actually very good and really filling. Other people make them from bananas. There are lots of options besides making them from plane old flour.0

Here is what Mayo Clinic has to say about a gout diet: http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/in-depth/gout-diet/art-20048524
So I agree with @VintageFeline - it's more than just pizza and soda...0 -

That doesn't make sense. A pizza is made up of a lot of different ingredients any of which might be your gout trigger. Perhaps it's wheat, in which case you'd need to give up a lot more than pizza. Perhaps it's cured meats like pepperoni (much more likely given it's a trigger for a lot of people) in which case you could still eat pizza with anything else on it. I've never heard of soda to cause gout, either, but I guess you never know.
My husband and his father suffer from gout. My father-in-law's is controlled by medication but mostly triggered by red wine. He likes wine so takes the medication rather than give it up. My husband narrowed his gout trigger down to shellfish. As long as he doesn't eat crab or lobster and only very small amounts of shrimp, his gout stays dormant.0 -
