Are you a pizza lover who needs to lose a few pounds? It's hard to resist that delicious golden crust and warm, delicious toppings served at your local Pizza Hut restaurant. Unfortunately, the calories in this delicious comfort food can add up to excess pounds if you're not careful. Here are some tips for eating healthy at Pizza Hut restaurant:
Eat more tomato sauce and less cheese
You can still enjoy Pizza Hut pizza without guilt if you ask the restaurant to double the tomato sauce and use half as much cheese to your pizza. Your pizza will still taste good and you'll have the benefit of all of those heart healthy lycopenes from the tomato sauce.
Eat a thin crusted pizza
Why not choose a thin crusted pizza? You'll be rewarded with a considerable calorie savings and still enjoy a delicious, hot slice of pizza. Wash your pizza down with a sugar free drink
Don't waste your calorie quota on high calorie soft drinks. Opt for the unsweetened iced tea and enhance it with a bit of lemon and sugar free sweetener. Wouldn't it be better to use your calories on food rather than soft drinks? Add some vegetables
Pizza Hut allows you to choose from a variety of low fat, low calorie pizza toppings including red onion, tomatoes, mushrooms, pineapple, green peppers, and banana peppers. Pile these onto your pizza to compensate for the reduced cheese. You'll still have a satisfying meal with no guilt. Don't forget the salad bar
Indulge in the all-you-can-eat salad bar at Pizza Hut along with a slice of thin crusted pizza or two. The salad bar will fill you up so you won't want as much pizza. Just watch the salad dressing and croutons. They can really add to your calorie load. Avoid the appetizers
Avoid ordering the decadent appetizers such as the bread sticks, cheese sticks, and potato bites. These are empty calories that will just pack on the pounds. Save room for pizza instead. Use the Pizza Hut nutrition calculator
Pizza Hut offers an online nutrition calculator you can use to add up the calories before visiting one of their restaurants. Add up the calories and go prepared.
If you're selecting your pizza for health, what' the best choice at Pizza Hut? The Thin 'n Crispy Veggie Supreme pizza wins hands down. It has only 148 calories per slice. Combine this with the salad bar and you have a tasty, healthy meal that"s sure to satisfy.
