    One slice of most commercial large pizza is 300 calories. Can your calorie budget afford it?

    That slice of pizza, if you choose to eat it, will have 2-3 grams of salt in the crust. Drink a lot of extra water afterward to avoid the water retention issue.

    One slice of a large Papa John's pepperoni pizza has 805 mg of sodium. The same slice at Pizza Hut has 910 mg. At Domino's, it's 700 mg. One slice of pizza does not have 2-3 grams of sodium in it unless you are adding more salt yourself.

    Salt is salt. It has sodium in it.

    Definitely won't be the same - but cauliflower crust pizza :)

    I put it through our recipe thing on here - said 1900kj a serve - sounds a lot for cauliflower based pizza - anyone else want to try to work it out?

    There's always homemade pita pizzas and English muffin pizzas. This used to be a thing when I went to WW years and years ago.
    There's lots of recipes you can find for them on Pinterest.

    When I'm craving pizza, I order a personal pan veggie pizza from Pizza Hut. I can have the whole thing for a little under 500 calories. Kills the craving but doesn't torpedo my whole week.

    You'll notice I didn't say 'sodium'. I said "salt". I make pizza, I know dough. I stand by my assertion.

    I get this craving too. It usually mean progress! So, I make the pizza at home, and I go to a lot of effort to truly make it worthwhile. I use Ken Forkish's recipes from The Elements of Pizza. Some of those doughs take 48-72 hours to prepare (almost all hands off), and they are SO worth it. And it gives me 2-3 days to bank some calories and be a little bit extra active.

    I've been eating pizza every Saturday night since I discovered the two Ingredient dough. I make a 10 inch pizza and with sauce, cheese and toppings it averages between 500-650 calories for the whole thing. I love it.

    tell me more about this dough please and thank you!

    Have the pizza, I know I do :smiley: but a few slices is more than enough for me along with salad.

    I ate a good portion of a medium pizza tonight. It fit my calories. No regrets.

    Eat the pizza fit it into your calories. What happens when you finish strict dieting? If you go back to your old ways you will regain the weight. You may find it easier to learn how to eat the foods you enjoy while on your weight loss journey, to better handle them when you meet your goals (unless your goal is to give up pizza forever)

    I've found I can fit a couple of slices of pizza paired with a salad into my day pretty easily.
    Yes you should have some pizza if you want pizza.
    You could get a thin crust pizza. Choose lower calorie toppings.
    Make your own pizza.

    Try the Digiorno thin and crispy pizzas they have one where half the pizza is only like 370cal and they taste really good, I usually eats the whole thing if I have snacked lightly throughout the day and it really fills you up, I usually keep one in my fridge Incase I get these pizza cravings.
