The pizza does it make you fat? It depends on metabolism. “Pizza contains on average 800 to 1000 calories,” he explained to the Corriere della Sera Paolo Accornero, medical specialist in geriatrics, psychotherapy and nutrition. To those who are following a low-calorie diet, the expert explained that the possibility of indulging in a pizza is closely linked to his majesty the metabolism. “Whether or not you can consume pizza without gaining weight depends on people’s basal metabolism and how much physical activity they do,” underlined Dr. Accornero.
Foods that are cooked at very high temperatures, such as pizza, are as if they were predigested. Therefore, to digest them our body will consume less energy, fewer calories. This is why pizza doesn’t make you gain much weight if your metabolic capacity is good. Otherwise, it is a food to avoid if you don’t want to accumulate fat. In any case, it is always better not to abuse it: the ideal is once a week, choosing lighter pizzas, such as marinara or margherita.
However, the type of flour or dough has nothing to do with it: “As regards the accumulation of fat, nothing changes – explained Paolo Accornero -. The carbohydrate is always 4 calories per gram. The problem depends on the degree of cooking: at 350 or 400 degreeswhich is precisely the temperature at which the pizza dough is cooked in the oven, becomes all sugar”.
