Here Are The 5 Healthier And Unhealthier Foods To Pick From Pizza Hut If You're Buying Anything

Every human being should have a balanced diet, yet everyone seems to have an idea of what that should look like. The WHO specifies that a "healthy" diet should aim to prevent undernourishment and, to the greatest extent feasible, shield you against health problems like heart disease or diabetes. How many of us eat pizza, particularly on Friday nights with the guys?

In this post, we'll discuss a particular pizza brand that, while ordering from some of their menu items, you should exercise caution. There are more than 18,000 Pizza Hut outlets spread over more than 100 countries, according to Yum! Brands. Here are some choices you might want to avoid and some that you should make based on the guidelines set forth by the WHO and USDA for a healthy diet.

Pasta

Pizza Hut originally started selling pasta meals in 2008, and the new pasta even garnered a Menu Masters award from Nation's Restaurant News the following year. Pizza Hut's mid-2022 renovation of its pasta selection was welcome news for fans of the chain's pasta. 

The vegetarian pasta is your best pick for the least amount of calories, according to the Pizza Hut nutrition guide, out of the four oven-baked pasta meals available, which include chicken alfredo, cheesy alfredo, Italian meats, and veggie pasta. The others have so many calories that they will always have an impact on your health.

Pizza

Pizza is probably what you'll get if you place an order from Pizza Hut. The Meat Lover's pizza from Pizza Hut should be avoided, though, if you're seeking to make better decisions that explicitly limit your intake of calories, sodium, fat, and cholesterol. Pizza Hut's nutrition information states that each slice has 450 calories, 25 grams of fat, 45 milligrams of cholesterol, and 890 milligrams of sodium. It substantially harms your health, especially given its size.

Sandwiches

Over the years, Pizza Hut has featured a variety of sandwich-inspired menu items that have come and gone. The black forest ham and cheese sandwich, delivered with chips rather than fries, is the healthiest choice at Pizza Hut if you're in the mood for a sandwich on your next visit.

Salads

Salads often appear to be a healthy choice, but this is not always the case. Simply because something is a salad doesn't make it nutritious. A zesty Italian salad, a chicken garden salad, and a chicken Caesar salad are the three meal-sized salads that Pizza Hut serves. Without further ado, the Pizza Hut nutrition guide indicates that the chicken garden salad has the highest calorie count at 420. Your health objectives will determine whether the choice is the "healthiest" or "unhealthiest" among those presented.

Wings

The classic pairing of pizza and wings includes some of the greatest wings from Pizza Hut. To avoid falling into the same trap that can occur when ordering pizza, though, be cautious if you're trying to lead a better lifestyle. Both the classic bone-in and breaded boneless wings are available at Pizza Hut. Both bone-in and boneless "naked" wings have the least salt per wing. These wings without sauce only have 160 mg of salt per serving, according to the Pizza Hut nutrition guide.
