Save Calories By Blotting Your Pizza

In addition to it being Breast Cancer Awareness Month, October is also National Pizza Month! What does that mean for me? Nothing! I am going to do the same thing I do every other day of the year and that's eat pizza. A lot of it.

I did, however, find an awesome tip to help you feel less guilty about celebrating the month that is dedicated to pizza. Check it out! 

Labdoor Magazine has come up with one simple tip to help you save some calories and still enjoy some good hot pie. By dabbing or blotting the pizza before you eat it, you are saving a bunch of calories and fat.

• A slice of pepperoni pizza from Dominos has about 324 calories and 117 calories from fat
• By blotting the grease, you avoid 40.5 calories per slice and about 4.5 grams of fat
• That comes out to roughly 6,611 calories per year that you are saving
• And that means you shave two pounds off your waistline per year just by blotting

Americans eat and average of 23 pounds of pizza per year. So avoiding that fat is in everyone's best interest if we want to keep snacking on this Italian delicacy. Pop stars like Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry and Ariana Grande have shouted their love for pizza loudly and proudly.

Since we are not eating as many calories or fat, that means there is more room for more pizza!
