How many pizza slices?

[KimchiLaLa]

DH finishes a whole dominos medium pizza if we order a takeaway. I have 2-3 slices of one (we usually do buy one get one free). Then we both share the rest for lunch the next day. How many do you have on average?

As the blonds said when asked whether she wanted her pizza cut into 6 or 8 slices.

"6 please - I couldn't eat 8 slices"

I would have maybe 5/6 slices of a medium (so 3/4 of the pizza).

I do have a habit of over eating though.

I envy those with a naturally small appetite.

2, maybe 3, but I eat sides too

I used to be obese (binge eater) and could easily polish off a large pizza. I just can't and don't eat like that anymore.

I could probably do a whole medium. When we get a large I eat half. Plus sides.

I could easily demolish a medium with chicken strippers and wedges.
As I will be doing later on

If I'm buying a takeaway, too right I'm gonna eat the lot of it. What's the point in 'treating' yourself, whilst limiting yourself to two slices?
I'm aware the Dominoes is bad for me, that's why I only eat it occasionally - and eat it I will!

My 3yo will eat 2 slices with room for wedges and cookies. And she hasn't got a huge appetite.

*Dominos that should say

I could eat a whole large one tbh. I'm not proud of that and it's why I never order dominos alone.

You should be proud Tidy!!

”What's the point in 'treating' yourself, whilst limiting yourself to two slices?”

Because that way you get to enjoy the taste of it without feeling stuffed and bloated and consuming your body weight in calories. Which means you can treat yourself twice as often!

No way could I eat a few slices and leave anything till the next day. I reckon (OK I know) I could manage a full large. This is why I don't get them.

I can manage half a Dominos medium pizza!

is it that people stop becasue they think they can/should/guilt though or do you actually honestly not want anymore.
if there was no guilt,weight stupidness etc would you eat more?

I physically can't eat more than about 3 slices in one sitting. Any more than that and I feel full, bloated and a bit sick.

It's got nothing to do with any 'thoughts' because if for example I ate that for lunch, I'd re-heat the rest for dinner that evening anyway, or at least another 3 slices. If there are still more left, I'd probably have it the next day.

I don't understand why some people on this thread, can't understand that appetites are as individual as people. One person's normal would be another's binge eating.

I'm talking about deep pan btw, with crusts.

My OH is on his way home with a medium for me on the understanding I can finish what he doesn’t eat if his

I’m an over achiever when it comes to pizza eating. Especially dominoes.

Discovered this year that GoGo is open on Xmas day.
Guess what our Xmas plans are this year...

I will eat a large pizza to myself.
But I eat healthy majority of time so allow myself the naughty weekend.

I can eat a whole medium one, but I often have 2 pieces left. Tbh though I usually only end up having a couple of slice left if I've also had half of one of the chicken sides that ive split with my partner

We order 2 medium pizzas and a couple of sides, usually wedges and chicken strips. Me and the dc's (toddler and preschooler so they don't eat much) share one pizza and dh has the other to himself. I'd probably want a whole one if we didn't get the sides though. Favourite bit is the crusts dipped in garlic and herb dip 😋

Me and DH have been known to take down a 24inch pizza between us, a take away is a treat so as long as you're not eating it all the time then I say go for it and eat how ever many slices you want!

We don't live in a delivery area for any takeaways so the last Domino's I had was about 4 years ago. :(

I could eat a medium to myself. I did once scoff a whole slice walking from the front door to the lounge with the pizza boxes, which was all of 3 steps. DD was torn between being impressed and vaguely annoyed. :)

2 for me but DH and DS would both eat a large one to themselves, greedy bastards

The whole pizza! And don’t forget the cookies...

@TessieVanKendre

Well I must be a fat bastard then, because when I order Domino's, I have an 8 slice, thick crust pizza, a huge garlic and herb dip and warm chocolate cookies for after (only eat 2 of these, DP has the other 2) and I eat the lot

You have 8 slices of thick crust pizza with huge garlic and herb dip followed by two cookies

How the heck do you feel after that that? Can you even move?

Do you accept that that amount of that type of food is not a positive thing to do to yourself or are of the fuck it I love it approach.

Because this seem genuinely self destructive to me

fwiw, We are out for a Chiquito's Groupon tonight.
I might be going large on the chicken and pulled pork fajitas.

now you all want to come, don't you.

Satisfied and yes.

I do not accept it, I am allowed cheat days. And I'm a "fuck it, I love it" kinda person.

To you, yes. To me? Naaa.
