Last night I had some major cravings for pizza, I am trying to break a little plateau right now so I have restricted my calorie/food intake by a lot. What should i do? Should I just go buy a slice?

if a slice of pizza won't fit into your plan, it may not be the right plan for you, unless you are post-WLS or doing IP or something.

What plan are you on?

Otherwise one slice every now and then won't set you back. I ate pizza more when I was losing than I do now, actually.

Or, you can look into making your own so you know EXACTLY what is going into it. I've been doing that instead of buying pizza lately and it's a very yummy alternative

I second the home-made pizza suggestion. I make them for lunch about three times per week with multigrain flatbread, fresh tomatoes, red onions, mozarella and cilantro. I actually prefer them to the pizza-joint variety.

F.

I eat pizza quite often. But it is Greek pizza (no meat) and I get it from a place where they make it really healthy... all fresh ingredients, very light on cheese, etc. AND I eat a slice or two (they are very small slices) at a time and put the rest in freezer bags.

I also make my own. I am on a low carb diet, so I use a low carb tortilla, reduced fat cheese, no sugar added tomato sauce, and sauteed veggies. To give it extra flavor I sprinkle on some Italian seasoning, powdered garlic and onion, a some Parmesan cheese. It definitely satisfies my pizza craving.

what I do for my DH is use a english muffin and low cal cheese with some italian seasoning and jarred pizza sauce.

by the time you add the 1/4 cheese to the 100 calorie muffin, you're at about 275 calories for two halves of an english muffin pizza. If you want some more toppings, you can add mushrooms, black and green olives, turkey pepperoni

If you are concerned about serving sizes, in addition to making your own at home there are a TON of options for single-portion pizzas at the local grocery store.
It might not be exactly the same, but a Lean Cuisine, Weight Watchers, Amy's, Boca (etc.) meal may fit the bill.

Making your own is my favorite thing to do. It's easy and it tastes better than the other places.

A crisp flatout light makes a great, huge 90 calorie thin crust for a pizza.

As everyone has said, make your own. OR sometimes it is more the season I am craving. So I make roasted veggies with italian seasoning, sprinkle a little low fat mozzerella on them nad it gets me through the craving.

I agree make your own. Or just get a slice. One slice is not going to hurt you. It's more about limitations. If you save enough calories in your plan for it, then by all means enjoy your slice.

If it was me I would either make a single-sized healthy homemade pizza or even go out and buy a single pizza slice (but eat clean the rest of the day). For me I would eventually get into trouble by binging when I force myself not to eat a particular item.

Good luck with whatever you decide!

What I do in this case is decide how many calories I am planning for dinner, or whatever meal it happens to be, then eat that many calories worth of the item I am craving - and that's it. If I avoid it, it's all I think about, and would end up eating it on top of my regular meal.

It is okay to have pizza out sometimes if you count it into your food log, but I second (third, etc., lol) making it at home just because it is always so good and you can make it exactly as you like it and know exactly what is in it and how many calories it is.
