Pizza good or bad?

[cloud7]

im no expert on nutrition at all. i was just wondering if pizza is terrible for you or if it is ok to eat.

[cookie123]

probably pretty fatty. all depends on the person.

Everything in moderation.

but im not one to be listened to haha.

[peteyyytran]

Pretty terrible. Has a mix of high carbs and fat from the cheese... But I guess you can always make a homemade one which would be 10x healthier

[prey4war]

I like to get some Papa John's because they have whole wheat crust as an option. Also have grilled chicken as a toppings option. Get that **** thin crust style and you're good to go, son! Just don't eat the whole pizza or anything.

[jipp]

i dont even remember the last time i had pizza LOL.

[Opies]

fine in moderation.

a friend of mine says the same thing, what's the deal with that?

[X-TRAsmedium]

some good ideas on here.......make your own (turkey pep, veggies ect), if you do order always get thin crust. wheat crust is terrible IMO, if im gonna eat pizza, IM GONNA EAT PIZZA. obviously high in carbs and fat, i still eat some.

[burgerboy]

I'm currently working at Papa Johns while I go to college. We don't carry the whole wheat crust anymore as of last Tuesday and the grilled chicken we have is modified. I saw the nutrition facts on it and there are almost as many calories from fat and carbs than there are from protein. I haven't eaten pizza since I started working there, I mean, it's great pizza, but you get sick of it working around it all day. I watch all the fatties I work with get fatter eating the leftover pizza while I sip on my protein shake, haha.

there is nothing at all wrong with eating carbs and fat together, just don't go overboard with the portions

[clemburger]

I make my own with low fat mozzerella cheese, tomato sauce, english muffins and some oregano. I can control the macros and its whole wheat so its a much healthier alternative.

homemade pizza is almost always better if you are good at it, and I can make thin crust here since there is no new york style around me, that thick **** is not my cup of joe

Depends on the quality of ingredients, what kind of topping you use, ETC.

FOR EXAMPLE.

WW Crust
+
Tomato Sauce
+
Olive Oil
+
Grilled Chicken & Vegetables
+
Low-fat Cheese or Mozz.

a GREAT meal, it'll be so good you feel like you're cheating.

Can't speak for everyone here, but if your going to have pizza, go for the REAL thing and just fit it into your macros.

pizza is very low GI, not saying that even matters, but lets keep the facts right.

ummm they have a GI measurement now for a complete meal? Please elaborate.

[hooked4life]

well you can do the same GI test with pizza as you can with white bread. again, i'm not saying GI even matters - but just making sure facts are kept right. it's sort of a habbit of mine.

pizza is:
-dough (a ton of different types)
-fats (from both saturated and unsaturated sources)
-proteins (from various sources)

Please tell me how you are measuring the GI of all of this.

Depends what pizza you'd be referring to.

If you make it yourself and it's homemade etc. using your own ingredients, it can be healthy as anything. But if you eat typical take out, not so much obviously.

well, if you go to a GI database they list pizza, and of course they try to give samples based on a variety of different kinds.

obviously it's not going to be exact in every single case.

i'm honestly confused, if you can measure the G response from oatmeal, why can't you measure it from dough, cheese and toppings?

[NDame616]

GI is a stupid measurement because it's taken in a fasted state when you only eat the carb. Since a lot of us also include protein and/or fat in our meal, that drastically changes the GI and therefore it shouldn't be measured dur to inaccuracy.

YEAH BUT if your diet is right and u got it at 90% everyday.. then having 4 cheat meals a week wont make a difference... its been proven.... so in a week u can have 4 meals make it waterever it be.. just make sure its the actual thing not some low fat version of let say cheesecake..... if your gonna eat icecream eat the fattest and most tastier, the fat in it is gonna slow down the insulin response in your body.... so its better that it has fats..

or the diet im on.. its called anabolic diet... been on it for 4 weeks... and i get to eat whatever i want on the weekends.... its a bit more lenient then the 90% but i dont expect everyone to diet the same way... aslong as your carbs are in the lower side... and you fats are high and veggies/fruits/nuts/protein... is mainly your diet.. its cool.

[edogger]

Aye Simmo you live in sydney right? Know of any good pizza places

[HulkHagen]

I *LOVE* pizza but if you get it from a pizza place it's gonna be pretty crappy for you most likely. If you eat it in moderation and don't go overboard it won't kill you though. You can make homemade pizzas that are pretty decent for you though.

[THE_TRUTH86]

if you live in Cali we have Z-Pizza real good
