Snack or a Splurge?

How much harm could a slice of pizza do?  It depends on which one you choose. At Sbarro's, your best bet is a 460 calorie slice of thin crust cheese pizza. That is about a Quarter Pounder's worth. Sbarro's does not disclose bad fat, but I can estimate that the cheese pizza has some 7 grams - a third of a day's worth.
 
The numbers go up from there. Get a slice of thin crust pepperoni or sausage, deep dish pan or stuffed pizza and expect about 650 to 800 calories and 10 to 15 grams of bad fat.  The ever popular Baked Ziti and lasagna are in the same range of bad fat. Think of each 890 calorie Pepperoni Stromboli as 2 Quarter Pounders, one with cheese and one without.
 
If it has gotta be pizza, stick with thin crust Cheese or Mushroom.
 
If you want a side dish, try a salad or the sauteed mixed veggies.
