One of my worst go to meals when I'm too tired to cook (i have a 3 month old) I've been doing good and haven't had one in 3 weeks but I'm missing them! Any healthier options that are good for freezing?

    Lean Cuisine makes a decent single serve pizza. Another option is to buy a frozen thin crust cheese pizza, then add turkey pepperoni and veggies. Turkey pepperoni is 70% less fat. I like to cut the slices into quarters, the taste is great, the texture is a bit stiff.

    I love DiGiorno rising crust (it's not thin crust) but when I indulge, I eat a modest portion with a side salad. Good practice for maintenance. I'm going to have to figure out a strategy for the future too. I can never go back to eating a whole plate full of pizza.

    I've never tried to make a homemade frozen pizza. I like making my own crust for a fresh pizza. If you have a bread machine you could set this on a timer & have dough ready when you need it.

    Keep a jar of sauce, some shredded cheese, and cooked sausage or pepperoni in the fridge and get yourself some flatbread similar to this brand (there are other brands out there):

    Takes seconds to throw together, and cooks in a few minutes in a toaster oven. If you like veggies, you can cook your favorites up in advance to keep a week's supply on hand. I don't know if you can make them up and freeze them, but I don't see why not.

    All good suggestions! Thanks guys. I was eating about a 600 calorie frozen pizza...yuck...I didn't realize. But ibwill try the premade version as suggested as well as just watch the portion sizes, as that was one thing I've been working on the most with other foods as well!

    I sometimes get the individual cheese pizzas. I get my pizza and the satisfaction of eating the whole thing. This is one of the brands I get:

    This was exactly what I was going to suggest. I LOVE the little Flat Out pizza crusts. They're thin and crispy, and around 100 calories. I load em up with sauce, a serving of cheese, and veggies, and the portion size is usually perfect for me.

    I always keep pizza ingredients on hand and flat out or pita (I like best). Takes under 10 mins. Just broil one side, flip, top with sauce and toppings, then broil until cheese is melted.
