Consumers urged to beware high calorie count of pizza meals

It may be a delicious meal at the end of a long day or a tasty option when you don’t feel like cooking, but that cheesy and tempting pizza comes at a cost.

A 12in takeaway pizza could see you eating more than the total recommended daily intake of calories, saturated fat, and salt.

It’s generally recommended that women should consume about 2,000 calories a day and men 2,500,depending on their level of activity.
