in Health and Weight Loss
So tonight i am going to get a pizza from the supermarket. Obviously this pizza is going to be healthier than a takeaway one and i will also chose the healthier options! But will eating this pizza (all of it) ruin my progress and results or is it okay to have a pizza ??

    Even if its really high in carbs does it not matter about consuming too many carbs in one sitting ??

    Do you have a medical reason to monitor carbs?

    What's wrong with carbs? They may make you retain more water, but that doesn't stop your fat loss.

    Pizza is one of the essential food-groups! And no, a pizza once in a while won't undo the good work.

    All of the above but to add, your supermarket pizza isn’t any “healthier” than a takeaway one. As long as it fits your calories and your overall diet is meeting your goals then have at any pizza you want.

    At a takeaway though you don’t know what they use or the calories ect..

    They use pizza toppings, just like the factories that mass produce frozen pizza. I'd say the ingredients are probably better and more fresh. Calories have nothing to do with the healthiness of a food...

    And Mmm.. Pizza... I'm having one for dinner tonight.

    I hate people who food shame. No, eating this one pizza isn't going to ruin your progress if you manage your calories. Anything can fit in your calories budget if you plan for it. There is no such thing as an "un-eatable" food when it comes weight loss. CICO is king.

    For weight loss, calories are king. Macros don't affect weight in any permanent way.

    If you were able to eat 5000 calories of veggies, you would still gain weight. It is not what you eat, but how many calories you consume that matters.

    Now i would say as well sugars have a lot of calories and for the most part are not very filling. So you would end up eating more and go over your calorie goal.

    Since I have started I have eaten less food as before, but I have yet to feel hungry. I think this is due to eating more filling foods that are healthier.

    However a pizza from takeaway they don’t tell you the calories or nutrition, whereas supermarket ones do. Also how come people that are like really muscular and good abs say you should eat like chicken , sweet potato, brown rice ect... they always shame takeaways and “bad foods” ??

    Like i said, calories have diddly squat to do with the healthiness of a food. Most chain restaurants provide nutritional information.

    Many fitness people now advocate IIFYM. I rarely eat chicken, or sweet potatoes, and never eat brown rice fwiw.
