My thought, too[/quote]

+1  I went to a nutrition class that taught me that the appropriate serving of pizza for an adult is 1/3 of a slice.   People eat too much pizza.

A blanket rule lime this doesn't really make sense. Not only do adults' dietary needs vary quite a bit due to diffences in age, sex, height, activity level, etc., the nutritional value of a slice of pizza (or a third of a slice of pizza...) varies quite a bit, as well. A slice of pizza that is 1/8 of a 16 inch deep dish pepperoni pizza with extra cheese, for instance, will have a lot more calories (& , most likely, saturated fat)  than a slice of pizza that is 1/8 of a 12-inch thin crust margarita pizza.

I calculated the calories for my homemade pizza (thin crust, around 15" and cut into 8 slices), and it came out to 162 calories per slice.  1/3 of that is 54 calories -- hardly enough for a meal.  Granted, I don't top it off with mounds of cheese, and I render the fat from any meats I put on it...[/quote]
