I always try to log all the food I eat into MFP, but does anyone know how many calories/protein would be in just eating the cheese off a slice from a large pie ?? I'm pretty sure the whole slice (bread/crust incl) is around 225 calories. Thanks !!

Depends on how  much cheese it is.  Can you estimate it in ounces?  One ounce of cheese is about the size of a pair of dice.

That's a good idea, I'll try that :) Although, it's kinda hard to estimate for me when it's melted lol.... but now I'll remember to measure it on my scale next time so I'll know !! Thanks ;)

Impossible to say with any precision. Pizza cheese is usually a mix of three or more cheeses. Closest you can probably get is take the cheese off, weigh it, and use the value for full fat cheddar or mozzarella. Or just take a good guess, aim a little high. 

If you only have something like this once a month, a good guess won't really matter. If you were doing it every day, it might.

That's what I was thinking about the cheese mixture.... I didn't think it was just mozzarella, but wasn't sure what other kinds lol. I was just saying to Kelly that I would know now to measure it next time, but I just remembered my kids haven't finished theirs so I'm just gonna peel the cheese off one of theirs and weigh it..... I'm sure they won't mind     Thanks Grim !!

Just an Update (for anyone who cares LoL) ~ Did a little info digging (not sure whether due to absolute boredom or OCD tendencies ) I took the cheese off of 2 slices & weighed 1 at a time ~ 1st weighed 1.1 oz, 2nd weighed 1.2 oz..... Then I called the pizza place and asked what kind of cheese they use & they said Mozzarella only. So I found an entry on MFP for whole milk mozzarella and entered 1.2 oz. They calculated it at 102 calories & 8g protein..... And now my search is done Hahahaaa Thanks Again Guys !!
