So i'm trying to svae $$; but haven't made it to the grocery store to buy my smart ones/lean cuisines on sale.
So i've been getting a slice of pizza for lunch (can't beat $2.50 for lunch in NYC).
So i count it as 5 points (in the book it lists store bought slice as 4).
I'm staying within my points; eating my 1 point snacks; healthy dinner.
But i'm wondering is it really ok to eat pizza every day for lunch?? Even if it's only 4-5 points. I just don't want to go weigh in next week and have the scale go up!! Just don't want to spend the $8 for a sandwich or salad in the area i work so pizza is the cheapest option!

Re: NWR: WW ?? about Pizza
i wouldnt. theres a lot of sodium in it. plus your body doesn't like the same foods constantly.

WW always says to switch up things, so I wouldn't do it every day. I have learned that it pays to give urself a little diversity on WW. I feel like it's not the best of choices for everyday, but if you are staying with in your points then it should be fine.

Personally, I would count it for about 7-8 points a slice...all that gooey 100% fat cheese! Even if it is an over-estimation at least you will fair better come scale time!

mmm, not on WW but maybe you can at least have some cut up veggies to go with it and like leave out the crust? Veggies are no points right?
OR, get a subway footlong with the chicken and save half for the next day. Seems healthier since you can get it packed with veggies and leave out the cheese

I always counted pizza as 7 points to be on the safe side. I wouldn't eat it everyday but I think until you can find something else to eat its ok for now but i wouldnt go weeks eating pizza every day

8 points for a normal size piece of pizza b/c it's so big in NY - that's what my leader says and what the WW boardies tend to go with...

Just a word to the wise, if you do choose to do this for the week, at least do yourself a huge favor and drink like a gallon of water during the day. Then the sodium won't bother you so much. Oh and I would totally do this, because it's only a week and I LOVE Pizza!!!

Re: NWR: WW ?? about Pizza
thanks girls!!
Good point about NYC pizza-i'm going to put it in my tracker as 8 points! I was still within my points since i got in so late last night i just had some shrimp & plain salad for dinner cause it was quick & easy.
Keeping my fingers crossed for my weigh in next week. Going to the gym tomorrow so i'll work EXTRA hard to burn off any of the extra calories i may have taken in from the pizza!
