Some just eat a lot. I do sometimes, not frozen pizza but other stuff, but then I also regularly skip both breakfast and lunch or dinner without really thinking about it so on the whole I don’t think I eat more than others. I’m around 60 KG. The one that makes people look is when I pack away 30 pieces of sushi while they ordered 10 pieces and are somehow satisfied. That or how I can kill a full bag of potato chips (300 g) in one sitting, a cool 1500 kcal of crispy goodness.
I’m honestly curious, do you snack a lot or something? Where do your calories come from?
I looked up a few frozen pizzas you can get in my area and they are around 800-900 kcal. Assuming you eat 3/8 per meal, that’s 9/8 a day, or up to about 1000 kcal. On the basis that you average a similar amount of calories per meal and consume the usual three meals.
The average man needs between 2000 and 3000 kcal. Woman start at 1600.
Since I gun for at least 2800 kcal and my average breakfast is about 600 kcal, my other meals need to be ~1200 kcal (1.3-1.5 pizzas). I never eat outside of meals except for maybe once over the weekend.
It’s a little more than the recommended serving size on the pizzas I get. And I do usually add some extra toppings and cheese to make it better. I work from home, and don’t have any particularly active hobbies, especially in the winter, so it’s definitely enough for me for one meal. And my stomach is definitely full. I can only eat a fourth piece of im really starving
Are you still growing (teenager) or are very active or both? Calorie needs vary based on stuff like that, so if you’re discussing with people above 25 who are only mildly active they wouldn’t be able to burn away those calories as easily. Our base metabolic rate slows down too.
I’m around 30, actually. I used to be quite active, yes, but I’ve been sitting on an injury for almost a year now and even lost weight in that time eating the same amount (I still track every meal, so’ll still be in the habit once I’m fully healed).
Otherwise I’m healthy, even got checked for stuff like thyroid problems.
Wait, do people eats less than at least one frozen pizza per meal? Like, I don’t get them often, but I need two to feel full.
(I always get shit for writing about portion sizes, I’m only 70kg)

My weakness is Oreos.
I think that’s just you. I way like 40kg more than you, and I usually eat 3/8 pieces when I make a frozen pizza

What’s up with all these fractions. Let’s calm down
Im about your weight, but a whole pizza is usually enough. More than enough if I wash it down with coke
You just have to add enough cheese
This could be an American thing.
I’m a big eater and sometimes feel like I could eat two cheap frozen pizzas.
When I went to America think I finished one meal and that’s because I was hungover, haven’t eaten all day and starving.
Their meal sizes are fucking insane.
The post doesn’t specify pizza size, you could be thinking of smaller pizzas than the post.

Are we talking frozen “pizza for one”, or like 16” frozen pies?
