Pizza, the number one go-to on a busy night and often considered “junk food” by many. Considering it is created with a basic dough, simple tomato sauce, and calcium-filled cheese, it doesn’t necessarily have to be off limits, especially if you make it yourself.

Usually the biggest concern with prepacked or heavily processed foods is the sodium content. Considering you’re eating pizza as the main part of your meal, you can afford a bit higher sodium content than you might look for in a side dish or snack.
