03 / IN REAL LIFE

From number to plate.

The CREA estimate reported by ISS is for a reference margherita, not every pizzeria.

This is an average for tomato-and-mozzarella margherita pizza per 100 g. Size, dough, mozzarella and oil change an actual pizza: weigh a slice or use the maker's values when available.

From plate to diary, in three steps.

  1. Distinguish the finished pizza’s weight from the raw dough ball’s weight.

  2. Account for the amount eaten: a whole pizza, half or a weighed amount.

  3. Describe additions and review the estimate; a photo alone cannot measure weight and recipe.

05 / FAQ

The useful questions

How many calories are in a whole margherita pizza?

Using the CREA sample reported by ISSalute, 350 g is about 893 kcal (255 × 3.5). This is a proportional example: weight, dough and toppings vary between pizzas. Half of that same pizza would weigh 175 g; not every half pizza does. Use the actual amount in the calculator when you know it.

How many calories and how much protein are in 100 g?

The selected Margherita pizza sample has 255 kcal and 12.1 g of protein per 100 g.

Why might my plate be different?

The CREA estimate reported by ISS is for a reference margherita, not every pizzeria.

How do I use this estimate without chasing perfection?

Use the table as a reference, then consider the weight, added ingredients and your preparation. In Vesta you can review an estimate before confirming it in your diary and see the meal in the context of your week.
