> Two slices (1/4) of a typical, 13-inch cheese and meat pizza have been shown to provide almost 1/3 of the daily recommended allowance for protein, 12-15% for vitamin A, 30-45% for thiamin, 25-30% for riboflavin, 20-30% for niacin, 40-50% for calcium, and 18-25% for iron

Each slice has:

- 12-15g protein

- 16g fat (11g polyunsaturated)

- sodium 500mg

- carbohydrates 30g

- 2 to 5mg lycopene

Not bad unless you go crazy with a 'BBQ-sauce meatlovers' american pizza.

Considering that a healthy belly is filled by approximately two fists worth of food, two slices will always fill a healthy belly. And it doesn't have to be well rounded to be healthy, just devoid of processed foods and limited to a healthy portion (see two fists rule above). Of course, YMMV if you're not a particularly healthy person to begin with.

2 new slices and a can of Pepsi was my go to lunch for years in NYC. I am now 80 pounds heavier than I was when I started working in NYC.
