Question

2. You're starving and need to grab something quick. Which choice gives you the most balanced nutrition?

1. A chicken salad sandwich
2. A Pizza Hut Pepperoni Personal Pan Pizza
3. A box of Sunshine mini chocolate chip cookies (about seven small cookies) and a diet soda
4. A bagel with one ounce of cream cheese

The

answer is B.

Although high in fat, Pizza Hut's Pepperoni Personal Pan Pizza, with its tomato sauce and cheese, provides key nutrients like calcium, vitamin A, and vitamin C. To make it a better choice, skip the high-fat, high-calorie pepperoni. Or, order less cheese and add extra tomato sauce and vegetables for a tasty, filling meal that won't weigh you down.
