Okay y'all, I usually don't post twice in one day, but Mellow Mushroom is happening tomorrow night so I've been looking at calories/ SmartPoints for MM and HOLY CATS!!! The pizza I like (Magical Mystery Tour, which is no longer on the menu but is awesome beyond words and they'll still make as a special order) is SEVENTEEN SMART POINTS. 500 CALORIES. FOR ONE SLICE.
Uhm... no. That's not happening tomorrow night. But if I get the Chef's Salad, add a double topping of chicken, and even go with spicy ranch dressing, I'm clocking in right at 300 calories and 9 points.
Nine points still doesn't tickle me, but it's not seventeen, and the meal will be more filling than a single slice of pizza.
Plus, in my world, I do not eat just one slice of pizza, like, ever. I don't deny myself anything when I'm concentrating on losing weight, but I am more than happy to put it off to a more appropriate day. Considering weigh-in is Saturday, I am not consuming a thousand calories of pizza less than 48 hours prior.
That said, I did find a recipe for a cauliflower pizza crust that clocks in at 50 calories a slice, so I'm considering a DIY faux "Magical Mystery Tour" pizza for another day... in moderation, these things can work.
