One of the interesting things about the kind of diet I am doing is that I dont' have to give up any food I like. The downside is I have to cook it.
http://www.annamariavolpi.com/pizza_recipe.html Has a pizza dough recipe I like to use.
With http://caloriecount.about.com/ I can look at what goes into that recipe and find out how many calories total are in the dough
1 tablespoon Active Dry Yeast = 0 calories
1 1/2 cups Water = 0 calories
3 1/2 cups Flour = 1593 calories (ouch!)
1 tablespoon of Extra Virgin Olive oil (15 g)= 120 calories
Pinch of Salt = 0
I also add a teaspoon of sugar (~5g) to help the yeast work faster = 16 calories
This makes the calories in the amount of dough I'm making to 1729 calories. That makes about 3 pizzas. Remember this is JUST the dough. at about 576 calories per pizza dough.
I should also point out that if you, say make 5 smaller pizzas you'd have less calories of dough ( 345.8)
I'm planning on using this to make home made pizza pockets to pack for lunches at work (getting tired of wraps), so I don't know exactly how much i will get out of this, but i'll update later with a report
After words you have to add the amount of calories on your toppings.
Update 1: I made 8 equal sized pizza pop dough circles which means about 216 cal per pop with just the dough. Pepporoni, cheese and sauce will be added soon.
Update 2: As per fillings, today i used 15 ml of sauce = 11 cal
15 g of cheese = 50 cal
6 g pepperoni = 33 cal
This makes the total amount of calories per pizza pop is 310 calories , which is actually pretty high. One plus a salad and some milk will probably be a fill meal. I hope they're filling...
