Cheese Pizza with Vegetables (1 Piece (1/8 Of 12 Inches Dia))

Have a smaller portion—such as 1 slice—and save the rest for another meal.

Choose a thin, whole-grain or cauliflower-style crust when available, and ask for extra non-starchy vegetables such as mushrooms, peppers, spinach, onions, or broccoli.

Pair the pizza with a large salad of leafy greens, cucumber, tomatoes, and a vinegar-based dressing instead of breadsticks, fries, or sugary drinks.

Add a protein side such as grilled chicken, tofu, eggs, or tuna to help make the meal more balanced.

Eat the vegetables and protein first, then eat the pizza slowly and stop when comfortably satisfied.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk soon after the meal, if appropriate for you.
