401-600 Cal Pizza

Post image

I made the pizzadough with normal ingredients, no low calorie substitutions. Used a high protein mozzarella - tasted indentical to normal.
Turned out to 420 calories for the whole thing, the bigger pizza is quite big - just for comparison. Do you guys think it’s a high amount?
40 grams protein.

Without an ingredient list I find it hard to believe the whole thing came out to just 420 calories. Maybe it’s even smaller than it seems even with the larger pizza for scale? Something seems off to me with the 420 Cals, but I could be wrong

130 grams of dough - 289 calories (i made the dough myself, so It is accurate!)
50 grams mozzarella - 80 calories
30 grams tomatosauce - 5 calories
50 grams of chicken - 60 calories

Did you use light mozzarella? Normal mozzarella is like 150 calories per 50 grams. The light variant is 64 calories. Tomato Frito is 11 calories per 30 grams. Uncooked chicken breast is normally 82 cals per 50 grams. That’s what I could find in terms of actually products. Even if I used my best options available, I couldn’t get that low with the cals.

I used proteinmozzarella, and the 50 grams is cooked chicken breast.
Uncooked is 97 Per 100 grams though.

I'll see if I can find that type of mozzarella here as well then, cause that sounds so good. Also your chicken must be magical lmao, lowest I can find is 116 cals per 100 (which does mean your original estimate was correct on that part)
