Never eat uninformed

|



Last night my husband had a craving for pizza – he really likes the CPK frozen pizzas and they’re relatively small… He had the garlic chicken pizza and I had the sausage-pepperoni-mushroom pizza (I’m a purist). I had a caffeine-free Diet Coke.

Silly me. It wasn’t until after dinner that I looked at the back of the box and discovered that each little frozen pizza is three (3) servings. Yes, three (3).

Now, my husband is almost six-four, and if he ate a third of a CPK frozen pizza, he’d be rummaging in the refrigerator shortly afterwards for the rest of his meal. And truthfully, one whole CPK frozen pizza just about fills me up comfortably. I mean, they’re not that big.

862.5 calories. I ate 862.5 calories. In one sitting. Not including the Coke.

I must start reading labels before dinner.

Too funny Julie, I feel your pain there...on freeday (I don't like to go too crazy on freeday) I had a couple of those Hostess donuts (chocolate of course) and looked at the label later, OMGosh, I could have eaten like 4 hostess cupcakes and it would have been less calories, fat etc...I am with you, heres to reading labels!
