Ouiche or Pizza.. Which is more unhealthy

[zerocool]

Can someone please shut my friend up, last night we had an argument on which is healthier, Quiche or Pizza.
I am not going to give you my answer yet but i will inform you later.

I will inform you of what I thought was heathier later.

Quiche gives you breasts.

I would say quiche is unhealthier as pastry is made from hydrogenated margerine and flour whereas pizza dough is pretty much fat free.

Although I guess it could also largely depend on what the filling/ toppings are. Quiche is generally cheese and eggs which are both high in cholesterol but on the other hand pizza can be topped with very fatty toppings such as pepperoni and cheese...

So... Quiche in my opinion is unhealthier than pizza.

Whereas pizza tones you up and makes your body a temple eh zerocool?!

[thedelbwa]

I would say quiche too...lot of eggs in the recipe but then I suppose it depends what you put on your pizza...

Pastry is only made from hydrogenated fat if you buy it ready made. No self-respecting cook would make pastry from margarine, as it has too high a water content and the pastry never goes crisp enough. Pastry is high in fat, it's true to say, but quite honestly, unless you eat it every day and in huge quantities it's no more unhealthy than anything else. It's the quantity and quality of food you eat, combined with a lack of excercise that leads to obesity. If you live on pizza and quiche, or other ready made supermarket or takeaway rubbish, you are going to be a lot more unhealthy (and probably fatter) than someone who eats properly cooked, fresh food, made from proper ingredients.

Quiche... all that wobbly, eggy nonsense, yuk! :o(

You've obviously never eaten a good one. Most, it has to be said, are (rhymes with quite), but made properly, are delicious. There are, however, many, many ways to really make a ****** of them. Most involve using rubbish ingredients, cooking the pastry and filling at the same temperature (dear God!) and not baking the pastry case first. And real men do eat them. Ask Mr A. He's a real man. And he doesn't have breasts.

I don't know which is healthiest between quiche or pizza but I do know that a thin Italian style pizza is much healthier than a deep pan pizza.

Hi, Pizza would be my choice for less fat (specially if you use lots of veggies in the topping and not too much cheese).

[PinkFizz]

Depends on the topping and fillings but I would generally say quiche was the fattier/highest calorie out of the 2 due to the pastry and it is quite stodgy and heavy.

If you use a thin crust, very little tomato puree - not sauce (lots of bought ones use lots of sugar in them) and use just pure Mozzarella - not these already grated mixes they say are Mozzarella - a pizza would be as healthy and and far tastier than other "diet" foods.
