Holy carp! lol! My hubby is out picking up a pizza for dinner tonight. I used fit day and found out the calorie count for a slice of large meat/veggie pizza was like 270 cals. So I figured I could have two and stay within my calorie range for the day.
And then I went and googled "calorie count costco pizza" (where we are getting it from.. and found out that EVERY SLICE HAS 680 CALS! And I was going to eat TWO!!!
Holy moly! So Jeff's out picking up the pizza for THEM and I'm baking two salmon fillets, a baked potato and some green beens for ME. Scary man.
Good job doing your research!! It's always so helpful to do it before you eat. 680 a slice is nuts! Last night we made home made pizza that was delicious! I love when I can control the calorie count and have a yummy meal!
see homemade pizza was on the menu. I use whole wheat pita bread, 2 T tomato paste, cup of cooked chicken, cm of cheese 1/4 cup onion, 1/4 cup red pepper. IT'S SO GOOD. But I'm having a crappy emotional day combined with a toothache and didn't want to cook. So I sent Jeff out for that...
well THEY enjoyed their pizza and I REALLY enjoyed my salmon et all. I found this glorious terriaki seasoning by Epicure that is salt free and SO YUMMY! Good dinner.
A few years ago when I was a fair bit over 300 lbs I went to a personal trainer. She was an angel and convinced me to get a physical which was so important an probably saved my life.
Anyhow back then she said it would make her happy if I never ate another slice of pizza again, lol. She had done a lot of research into pizza and gave me some articles. Now I have had pizza from time to time, but I eat a whole lot less of it that I did before! It's now a rare treat.
So even though I don't swear off foods for good, I think the less pizza (commercial, not homemade) that I eat, the better.
One of the problems with those pizza's is that their slices are like double or triple the size of a "normal" slice. So that doesn't surprise me that they are so high in the calorie count. Most ALL of their dishes are on the "larger portion" size. It is really sad that they don't make these things a little smaller and more health friendly.
Awesome job looking up your calories! Bravo. I do it too! You could always take one piece and chop in two--that way you could still have two pieces. The salmon sounds better anyway though. I made some last night. You will have to let me know how you fix yours--the seasoning sounds YUM. Did you put anything else on it?
