Careful with that pizza. There are 17 oz of cheese in it. If you eat only one serving (as defined by Linda), you are fine. But eat 2 servings, or more than 1-2 other ounces of cheese throughout the day, and you're over your cheese allotment. Just something to keep in mind... otherwise the dish is perfectly "legal" for Induction.

Am I eating too much salt or calories?
Don't worry about calories -- eat if you are hungry or went 6 hours without eating; stop when you are satisfied. I know it's not so easy to make the difference between satisfied, full and stuffed... I'm still working on that myself... but it's something you get better to as you go.

Sodium... I can't see your sodium intake (it's not public, by default). The RDA in the US I believe it's 2400 mg (someone correct me if I'm wrong). Too much sodium can cause water retention. But unless you are eating a lot of processed meat (I don't know how much sodium there is in the bacon, sausage, salami, etc. you are eating), adding a lot of regular salt in cooking or unless you have a sensitivity to sodium, you should be okay.

"The truth is that temptation lurks everywhere, unless you deny yourself a social and working life and the attendant pleasures of eating out. I believe that the best way to overcome temptation is not with willpower, which is so often in short supply, but with our brain power, a potentially unlimited resource.

Imagine that you're doing great, losing weight, feeling better than ever, thrilled with yourself, hearing compliments from friends and acquaintances---and then it happens! Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!"
