As a kid, I've been told you need to practice more when you find something difficult. So in an hour ar so I'm going to practice bolusing for pizza again. Luckily, I've also been told you can always ask for help or advice when trying something difficult, so here I am.
In the past, I managed staying in range when eating pizza by cheating; I just ate a little pizza for which I bolused, and made a filling salad on the side. Today I decided to try the expert-course and eat just pizza.
In case it's relevant, it's a cheap supermarket pizza with salami and a thin base. I pimped it with onion, garlic, extra cheese, blue cheese, bell-pepper, olives, fresh chilli pepper and arugola. The package says 89,4 grams of carbs per pizza (yikes) and I suppose I'll eat a little over half a pizza.
Of course I'm not looking for advice on how I should bolus for my pizza, but I'd really like to know how other people tackle this thing and possibly learn from it. And I'm very much aware that the easiest and healthiest way is to not eat the pizza and opt for something with less carbs. That's why I usually leave the obvious high-carb parts out of my meals
