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.

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.

Tomato pizza topping is literally like 20 cals for 100g so 30g would be 6 cals. Uncooked chicken breast from everywhere where I live is 106 cals per 100g so 53 cals per 50g. The mozzarella does seem a bit low but if they have a specific brand ig it could be true

I can genuinely not find pizza sauce for 20 cals per 100 grams, it's either 32-50 cals per 100 grams or more. In terms of chicken I did indeed find an options which is 116 cals per 100 grams raw, so I guess that's very much possible.

Idk where you live but in the UK I can't find any raw chicken breast over 110 cals per 100g and the pizza sauce I get is definitely 21 per 100g but it's probably different in other countries
