How many calories in a pizza?

[BittersweetMemories]

Trying to limit myself to 1200 calories a day.

Was busy today round the house so didn't have anything to eat all day so decided I would make my own pizza for tea. Put everything in MFP and went to Asda.

Everyone apparently has decided to make their own pizza this weekend as there was no pizza bases (and I have no idea or inclination to make my own).

I'd already had my heart set on a pizza do ended up getting one of the Asda make your own ones (but pre made, because they aren't doing make your own just now).

It was a 10 inch Pepperoni Feast and I ate the whole thing except for the crusts.

It doesn't have any nutritional information on it bevause it's made from scratch.

How many calories do you think it was?

Not that it matters bevause I've eaten it now but in my pizza guilt of it turns out to be way over my calorie goal I might counteract it with salad tomorrow....

Doesn’t MFP have it? It will surely have similar.

Prob about 1000!

Didn’t it tell you on the label?

Noom says a 10 inch Morrison’s thin and crispy pepperoni is 880 if that’s any use?

I would say 2,000. 3 slices of Dominoes Pepperoni has 1,000 so I’d say it’s about right.

Just looked on MFP. Over 900 calories if you are the whole things.

Crikey: ate the whole thing

I'd count 1,000 but it might be more. Write it off. Try again tomorrow

About 1000 calories (I used to work on the pizza counters at ASDA).

Okay so it doesn't sound too bad! I had tried to Google and it was saying around 900ish but I feel a bit sick now (serves me right for being greedy!) so worried myself that maybe it was actually like 4000 calories or something.

First "bad" thing I've eaten in 6 weeks though and 7lbs down so hopefully still a loss this week!

It was blood delicious though.

About 1000. Sounds like it was worth it though!

I have a Chicago Town vegan one every Friday. The box says 600 calories per half pizza, but who wants to eat half a pizza? So I do a long run to burn off some extras then eat the whole lot.

Their normal pepperoni pizza is 704 calories but it weighs less than the pepperoni feast so I’d add on some calories as presumably there is more pepperoni etc on the feast one.

Agree that around 1000 for that size pizza is reasonable. About 2000 or more for a large Domino's but most people wouldn't eat a whole one of those to themselves.

Be aware that the scales might show a gain for the next couple of days but if the pizza is the only unhealthy thing you've had, it will be water gain due to the fat, salt and carbs in the pizza, not fat gain.

That's about right. We tend to have a smaller one and it's about 900 calories.
Well done for losing so much. I've managed a stone in the past 6 weeks. Hoping to keep going until the summer holidays. We had friends round (first playdate in weeks for DS) and a bbq yesterday. I hope it hasn't made me put on too much. Was lovely, though.

(Oh, and before someone complains and wants to report me for breaching lockdown rules: We live abroad. Restrictions have been lifted and it's ok to meet up with another household.)

Also the number of calories will depend on how generous the person making the pizza was at the time.

If you stick to the official amount you're supposed to put on it's around 900 calories but when I worked there most people put way more on than that - especially if one of the ingredients was about to go out of date!

If we had something on that days date then people often got given double or even triple the usual amount 😂

Loads! Just move on. I can eat a whole Dominoes

i use a wrap as my base. i can do a mini pizza for just over 200 cals and a big one for 420 or so

crikey ate the whole thing

And? Did you miss the part when OP said she hadn't eaten all day? Even so, if she wants to eat a whole pizza then it's up to her. I ate a whole pizza last night, mine was 14"...and I ate some ice cream after it

@whatthehecksausages was just coming on to say the same! I have pizza weekly now, with a plain wrap, tomato purée and grated cheese!! Delish and guilt free

Crikey: ate the whole thing

Crikey, hold the front page, person who lives in cave has found out that shock horror, other people eat whole pizzas

What a pathetic post.

I thought that @wowfudge only said "crikey : ate the whole thing" because autocorrect had made her first post ".... are the whole things". Not as a criticism.

@Lobsterquadrille2 you are correct. I wasn't criticising the OP, I was mildly annoyed that autocorrect thought I wanted to say something that made no sense and was correcting that. I only put "ate the whole thing" because most of the MFP entries are for half a pizza.

Ignore the calories, enjoy the pizza!

@wowfudge, apologies from me, I misread your post and thought you were having a dig

It’s pretty easy to eat a whole pizza, especially a supermarket version.

Not sure on calories OP but I’d guess 900-1100 depending on if the staff where generous with toppings that day.

In future thin bases save you a few calories, for Example a fresh thin & crispy pizza from Asda with pepperoni on is 704 for the whole thing

You can also use wraps as a pizza base, ok it’s not a great pizza but might give you the hit you need.
