Average Pizza consumption for Americans is 350 slices per second! It is not that big in India, besides the urban areas, so I do not think I can get similar statistics for India.
Most nutritionists consider Pizza to be taboo food to be avoided at all costs. Some nutritionist offer a different view as long as you follow the following rules when Pizza fever hits:
1. Have thin crust over thick or pan crust. The amount of calories are almost halved and you do not need that excess refined carbs in your system.
2. Have a good amount of roasted vegetables on your pizza.
3. Remove sausages from the pizza. Ham, roast chicken/beef, shrimp is probably the best option
4. Do not have more than 2 to 4 slices depending on your body weight and amount of exercise and activity levels.
5. Ask for a low - fat Mozzarella option if available
6. Ask for a wholemeal base if available
7. Avoid stuffed bases
8. Stick with tomato based sauces over the gourmet white sauces
9. Best Vegetable Toppings:
onions, mushrooms, capsicum, broccoli,tomatoes, spinach, pineapple.
10. Have salad as a side dish so you don't stuff yourself with just pizza.
11. Do not indulge in a pizza on a regular basis.
