Compare preparations
The same food, prepared differently. Cooking removes water (so calories per 100 g rise), adds fat (so they rise further), or both.
| Preparation | Calories | Protein | Carbohydrates | Fat |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pizza (cheese, regular crust) | 266 | 11.4 g | 33.3 g | 9.7 g |
| Pepperoni pizza (pepperoni, regular crust) | 282 | 11.7 g | 32 g | 11.9 g |
| Thin crust pizza (cheese, thin crust)this page | 302 | 12.9 g | 31.2 g | 14 g |
What actually changes the number
Thin crust is slightly denser per gram (302 kcal per 100 g) but the slice is lighter — about 240 kcal versus 285 for regular crust. Thin crust saves calories by weight, not by recipe.
How accurate are these numbers?
The values on this page are reference averages from the USDA FoodData Central database (SR Legacy release), measured on samples of thin crust pizza as sold and prepared in the United States. Your portion will differ: produce varies by variety and ripeness, meat by cut and trim, and anything cooked by the fat and water it gained or lost.
For most foods the per-100 g figure is reliable to within about 10%. The larger uncertainty is almost always the weight of what is on your plate and the cooking fat you cannot see — the two things worth checking before you worry about the database.
