Pizza (4/20)

List item

Pizza is a triple threat to any diet.

This tasty Italian dish is unfortunately seriously bad for you, especially if you’re trying to lose weight.

Firstly, the base itself contains processed white bread with high amounts of refined sugar added to enhance the taste, and even high fructose corn syrup in some brands.

Secondly, an average slice of pizza will contain approximately 10 grams of fat just in the cheese alone. That means eating a full pizza could add up to a staggering 78 grams of fat in one meal which is close to double the recommended daily intake.

Finally, most pizza will be topped with processed meat which is high in fat and usually doesn’t contain much in the way of protein.
