How to Eat Pizza and Lose Weight

Yes, you can eat pizza on a diet. Here's how:

  • Choose thin crust — saves 80-100 calories per slice
  • Limit to 2 slices — pair with a side salad for volume
  • Go veggie or margherita — lowest calorie options
  • Avoid stuffed crust — adds 100+ calories per slice
  • Blot the grease — can save 20-50 calories per slice
  • Skip the extras — breadsticks, wings, and soda add up fast

⚠️ Watch Out: Full Pizza Calories

A whole large pizza can be 2,000-3,000+ calories — an entire day's worth. Always track by the slice, not the box!
