> Two slices (1/4) of a typical, 13-inch cheese and meat pizza have been shown to provide almost 1/3 of the daily recommended allowance for protein, 12-15% for vitamin A, 30-45% for thiamin, 25-30% for riboflavin, 20-30% for niacin, 40-50% for calcium, and 18-25% for iron
Each slice has:
- 12-15g protein
- 16g fat (11g polyunsaturated)
- sodium 500mg
- carbohydrates 30g
- 2 to 5mg lycopene
Not bad unless you go crazy with a 'BBQ-sauce meatlovers' american pizza.
Considering that a healthy belly is filled by approximately two fists worth of food, two slices will always fill a healthy belly. And it doesn't have to be well rounded to be healthy, just devoid of processed foods and limited to a healthy portion (see two fists rule above). Of course, YMMV if you're not a particularly healthy person to begin with.
Also note that not being "a healthy person" may not be your fault. Some people's digestive systems weaken over time, causing them to often feel less full when eating (and thus eat more without realizing it).
What else surrounded that? What was breakfast and dinner? There's a lot more than lunch in a day. 2 slices and a can of pepsi is probably around 700-800 Calories.
Bacon egg and cheese on a buttered roll for breakfast. A cheeseburger deluxe for dinner. Oh... and 2-5 pints with everyone after work before I ate dinner on my walk home.
