  If you’re already eating pizza then you’re not really worried about carb intake.

    What is portion control anyway?

      True, the best way to portion control any meal is to put 120% of your portion on a plate and eat the middle out of it until you get to 100%.

      Eat less pizza then instead of wasting food.

        Not eating the crust is eating less pizza!

        Do you stop eating when you are full, or do you polish off everything on your plate every time? Do you throw out food that has spoiled and feel bad because you didn’t eat it soon enough?

        Based on your logic someone shouldn’t ever eat pizza if they don’t enjoy the entirety of every slice. Do you judge people who pick off toppings they don’t like from a compromise pizza? What if they don’t eat every side that comes with a meal in a restaurant?

        What if they don’t drink their entire glass of water? WHY ARE THEY WASTING WATER?

        Toss the crust

        • Pro: No additional negative effect on your enjoyment of the food or your body
        • Pro: compost and let the plants eat it
        • Con: You cease to be a grown ass man

        Eat the crust

        • Con: Negative enjoyment
        • Con: Extra Calorie consumed. More strain on the medical system.

        If anything, eating the crust would be the “wasteful” decision. I’m sure if it were possible to get the same pizza without crust, all of these people would jump on that chance.

      Pizza is cut by the slice. That’s the portion

        Unless there is an option to cut a slice into a smaller slice, eating less than one serving size by discarding a portion of the food is still portion control.

  Yeah. There’s nothing wrong with the crust, but if you’re going to blow your carb budget on a pizza at least keep the pleasure:carb ratio as high as possible.

    As mentioned above: if the crust is not delicious you’re eating a bad pizza

  I used to think like the OP/image, but now I’m in your camp. You should absolutely eat things you don’t enjoy if they are good for you. But bad pizza crust is just punishing your mouth while gaining weight.

  I understand the food waste argument, but it’s wasted whether you eat it or not. You’re wasting just as much if you don’t eat the peel of the banana.

  Empty carbs in moderation are fine, it’s not like they’re poisonous or anything.

  • snooggums@midwest.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    It sure is!

    I’m just disagreeing with the idea that eating every part of prepared food is some kind of obligation.

      Fair. It does seem a bit inefficient to make the crust and then not eat it though
