In the time it took to warm my oven to 425f, I rolled up 28 lean turkey meatballs with italian seasoning into 1.4 oz balls. They melt down to an easy count 1oz. Now all I have to do is put 3-5 in a bowl, cover with spagetti sauce, 1oz part skim mozzarella and nuke until cheese is melted. Beats my spagetti and pizza craving in a tangy mouth watering way. Only 235-320 cals

Sometimes I go a bit carby and put 1/2 a multigrain muffin on the bottom for 50 more cals.

    I love turkey meatballs, we add green pepper and onions shredded up into ours, but we do ours in the crockpot in the sauce all day so good!

    I was just thinking about ordering pizza! I have nothing to eat in the house, so I thought that would be the next best thing. Well, it's between that and starving.

    I use lavash wraps as my bread crust, then add my toppings. The 1/2 sheet is 60 cals and just pile on the veggies or whatever you want.

    To stop yourself getting cravings, try incorporating those foods into your diet, they're fine in moderation.

    Friday night is our pizza night! I buy whole wheat dough from the food lion deli and top it with sauce and whatever else we want, like ground turkey, spinach, tomatoes, chicken, pineapple, turkey bacon....whatever we're in the mood for. Just don't go too heavy on the low fat cheese and viola! It's sooooo yummy!

    I know I'm really lucky, but I just don't have any particular food that I crave. Especially since going completely vegetarian, and loving to cook, I rarely have the same thing twice lol! :)

    I eat pizza all the time; just had one for lunch. Buy the Mountain Bread at Costco -- 70 cals a sheet. They make a great super thin crust pizza.

    The Biggest Loser the nutritionist mentioned a healthy alernative to pizza using 1 whole wheat tortilla, 1/3 cup of cheese, 1/4 cup of sauce. You can add vegetables etc, I didn't because I microwaved it. I didn't feel like putting it in the oven because I was hungry and didn't feel like waiting, 1 minute and it was done. I cut it up it small pieces (like 8 total) and for me it was 230 calories. You can buy different tortillas with less calories, but this was stuff I had in my fridge and it was really good and I was full after. I might make it for dinner with a salad or something in the future. But it was a nice lunch option, I've also done this with arnolds sandwhich thins that are 100 calories. Also, the serving size for whole wheat pasta is about 180 calories with a serving size of sauce is about 50 depending on brands. I try to get my meals roughly in the 300 calorie range, but I have the serving size and don't over eat. In the past I would load up and over eat. But just have the serving size. Don't limit yourself, just find healthier ways to incorporate what you like. Try googling healthy options for pasta or pizza, to get some ideas. I do that sometimes.

    Well I didn't have a craving for anything because I think I splurged the past two days! I have to get back on track now! Anyhow....the owner of my company bought New York Style Pizza so I'm pretty sure that killed me! But I think I'm definitely OVER food now so I think I'm just going to go back to eating at normal times normal portions sporatically throughout the day! :)
