How often can one eat pizza?

Due to the fact that pizza is a very high-calorie dish, those who love it should remember two rules, said Elena Solomatina, candidate of medical sciences, nutritionist, in an interview with Sputnik radio.

First, as the specialist noted, it is necessary to monitor the total number of calories consumed per day.

“If you spend more energy than you get from food, then you can at least eat pizza for lunch every day,” Solomatina said.

Secondly, you need to choose pizza that contains healthy ingredients, the nutritionist clarified.

According to the expert, it is better to take pizza, where there are more tomatoes or tomato paste. There will be a lot of lycopene, which is a powerful antioxidant. Its use has a beneficial effect on the cardiovascular system and has an anti-cancer effect.
