How usual is it to have Dominos once a week?

[12purplepencils]

Aibu to think this isn't very healthy for a child/teenager? A medium pizza to themselves every single week without fail.

Or am I being judgy? Is this quite common and not a big deal?

I won't give my opinion unless asked but I don't think it's a great message to give to a young person that this is a good routine to carry on, surely would be better to have it fortnightly at least or a smaller pizza 🤔

It depends on the base, the sheet google just threw up for me from Dominos says original cheese and tomato, medium 595g, is just under 1k calories

In any case, its a fair amount and he is already overweight OP said

Think it’s fine!

Yes.......200 x 8 slices is about 1600 calories as we both pretty much stated. Other offerings have a higher calorific value hence 200-300 per slice.

I'd think it's ok, we have a family take out night once a week or so but as part of a balanced diet the rest of the week

Eating bread for toasts and sandwiches 7 days a week is worse, because pizza is just, bread, dear

Depends on background I think. Where I live very uncommon and would be viewed as tantamount to child abuse. In other areas would be pretty regular. My kids have dominos occasionally (I ordered them in last week when my 17 year old had a party - none of the kids ate more than 2 or 3 slices though we had loads left over) but I wouldn’t let them have a supermarket pizza weekly let alone a domino’s one.

Loads of people have one takeaway a week. Can't see a problem

We used to have one slice of pizza in the 80s. How did it become a whole pizza!?
