Dominos

Last night I was hungry for a late night meal and decided to go with domino's pizza. I ordered a large cheese pizza with thin crust. While pizza is not the healthiest meal. I thought that by ordering thin crust would make the pizza a little more healthier. Also by me not sharing any of the pizza and eating almost the whole pizza really racked up on the calories. Not only did the pizza make me feel horrible but I am now thinking about what I am putting into my body making me feel even worse.
A cheese pizza is made up of dough with marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese topping it off. The cheese is fresh and the marinara sauce is shipped along with the pre-made dough from the manufactures. There is a manufacturing company in North Carolina so the gas for a truck to come to Elon, NC, is only few hundred dollars in gas. But the nutritional facts is what really surprised me. There are 8 portions in a pizza and each portion has about 200 calories, 9 grams of fat, 400 grams of sodium, 25 grams of carbohydrates, and 3 grams of sugar. Knowing that my intake is 8 times the amount of theses numbers is a little scary. Pizza is not a great food choice because of the high amount of calories and carbs. If you are trying to stay fit stay away from pizza.
