Will blotting my pizza reduce calories?
Blotting your pizza before eating won't soak up all of the fat and calories, but it can make a dent. "If you're eating a medium slice of cheese pizza, swabbing it first with a serviette can remove up to 45 calories and five grams of fat," says Suzanne Farrell, R.D., a Denver nutritionist and a spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association.
If you really want to improve the nutritional profile of your pizza, skip the meat toppings and order it with extra veggies (like mushrooms, spinach, or broccoli) and half the cheese (which saves about 80 calories and six grams of fat per slice). Switching from thick-base to thin-crust can also slash up to 200 calories and six grams of fat.
