Pizza by the numbers

Here's a fun way to enjoy pizza without blowing your diet: Visit nutritionist Joan Salge Blake's Virtual Pizza Parlor at people.bu.edu/salge. Begin with crust, and start piling on the fixins! As the layers change, so will the nutritional data. A slice of sauce-free thin-crust pizza with cheese and mushrooms has 142 calories and 6 grams of fat.

Choose pesto, pan crust and olives, and those numbers double (or triple!). Test your salad smarts, too, at the Virtual Salad Bar.
