Is there a healthy way to eat your pizza?

Question

I eat pizza as a social thing, kinda like social drinking, but eating pizza instead. When I get together with my friends 95% of the time we eat pizza. I was wondering if there was anything I could do to make my pizza-eating experience a little bit better for my body.

Answer 1

Other than buying the kind loaded with more vegetables (that way it has less fatty cheese, and make sure it has NO processed meats on it) you can pat down your pizza with a napkin to absorb some of the grease and stick to one slice. The biggest mistake people make with pizza is eating to much in one sitting. If you stick to one slice for a meal, you should be fine. Eat it slowly and sip water between bites so that you won't be too tempted to reach for that second slice. Have soup or salad or a small (200 calorie high-fiber) snack before going so you'll be less hungry for the pizza.

Answer 2

I used to work at Pizza Hut a while back and a customer of ours would order his pizza without the cheese. He would only order vegtables like olives, mushrooms, green peppers, no meat, and order thin crust. Of course, he also got the pizza sauce. A pan style crust would be the worst for you, go with a thin style and you won't be eating as much carbs.

Hope this helps.

Answer 3

Well, if you only go out once in a while and you eat small portions, it's not going to be detrimental to your health. A little pizza now and then isn't a bad thing.

That's assuming that the restaurants you eat at are using fresh, healthy ingredients of course.

Answer 4

Well, thin crust probably has fewer carbs than thick crust; ask for light sauce and light cheese; go for little or no meat and opt for veggies instead. And keep the portions to human scale. Maybe that will help a little?

Answer 5

you should eat at a slow pace...so you won't have the urge to eat more slices, and you're stomach will know when to stop. You can also have pizza without eating the crusts, to lower the calorie intake.

Answer 6

You could put pizza slices ON your body and then let someone else eat them off of you.

Answer 7

We cannot let people with serious eating issues set the norm for food standards There is absolutely nothing unhealthy about pizza .For cryin' out loud enjoy it.

Answer 8

I make my own pizza. I use a whole wheat crust, part skim cheese and natural sugar free sauce.

Answer 9

Eat only a very small amount. Pizza is very fattening.

Answer 10
