Cheese Pizza (Frozen, Cooked) (1 Serving 1 Serving Per 8 Oz Box)

Reduce the pizza portion (for example, have 1–2 slices rather than several) and avoid pairing it with soda, juice, dessert, or other refined-carb sides.

Add a large non-starchy vegetable salad—such as leafy greens, cucumber, peppers, tomatoes, and a vinegar-based dressing—before or alongside the pizza.

Include a protein-rich side such as grilled chicken, eggs, tuna, tofu, or plain Greek yogurt to make the meal more filling and slow carbohydrate absorption.

Choose a thin-crust or higher-fiber frozen pizza when available, and add extra vegetables such as mushrooms, spinach, broccoli, or peppers rather than extra crust or a bread side.

Eat slowly and start with the vegetables and protein before the pizza; this can help limit how quickly glucose rises.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating, if safe for you, and use your glucose readings to identify the portion size that works best.
