Calculating nutrition facts and calories for a pizza made in a pizzeria can be pretty hard but this surely won\u2019t prevent you from scoffing all of it.<\/p>\n

If, on the other hand, you can make a delicious, home-made pizza that you will bake in your wood-fired oven, you can easily track the calories and macronutrients such as carbs, proteins and fats choosing the ingredients that are more to your taste.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now, we will tell you a truth that remains largely unknown: pizza doesn\u2019t make you fat!<\/b><\/h3>\n

If pizza is part of your balanced weekly calorie intake, you can eat it every Saturday night without feeling guilty.<\/p>\n

A pizza Margherita, for instance, is a rich, healthy dish<\/strong> that has about 1 200 calories and all the macros you need.<\/p>\n

Now let\u2019s count the calories of some pizzas.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Carbohydrates: <\/strong>for a 280 g dough ball for one 30 cm (12 in) home-made pizza, just use 180 g of flour (no matter the type of it) that has about 130 g of carbs equal to 620 calories.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Protein: <\/strong>9 to 12 g per 100 g of flour; 30 g per 150 g of mozzarella (360 calories<\/strong>)<\/p>\n

Fat: <\/strong>25 g per 150 g of mozzarella; 10 g of olive oil equal to 90 calories.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Considering 200 g of tomato passata, add 50 calories.<\/strong>

Calorie calculator of a home-made Pizza Ortolana.<\/i><\/b><\/h2>\n

This is a vegetable pizza that keeps the base of flour and mozzarella, so to reduce the calorie intake, we suggest lowering the quantity of cheese and not drizzling olive oil over it. To bake a delicious Ortolana, julienne the veg and top with mozzarella only when the pizza is hot out of the oven.

Conclusion<\/i><\/b><\/h3>\n

Certainly, you can\u2019t indulge yourself with pizza every day, but nothing keeps you from eating it once in a while.
