CHOOSE HEALTHY PIZZA

THINGS TO BE TAKEN CARE!

A pizza can be made into a healthy and nutritious meal. It all depends on what one chooses. The healthiest pizza is one with a base that is made of whole wheat. Top it is roasted chicken, black beans, salsa, spinach, broccoli, corn, etc and the result is a wholesome and nutritious meal. A light dusting of cheese and one gets the flavour with manageable fat.


SUGGETIONS

When ordering a pizza choose a thin crust veggie pizza. The difference between a thin crust veggie and a deep dish veggie can be about 100 calories and 5 grams of fat. To make it more nutritious, order extra veggies on top. In a pizzeria, order a salad as an appetizer since a dose of fiber will take the edge off hunger. Resist all side items. One heese breadstick can add about 200 calories and 10 grams of fat to the meal. Since pizza is usually a shared food, attempt a compromise if you can't get your thin crust veggie. A half and half combination is a good choice. Toppings like Canadian bacon or ham are lower fat choices than pepperoni
