It can lead to heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure and even some cancers. The results revealed that younger kids eat 83 calories worth of pizza a day on average, while teens eat 143 calories of pizza each day. Those amounts were high enough to account for 5 percent and 7 percent of total daily calories, respectively.

On days when pizza is eaten, it makes up 22 percent of children’s calories and 26 percent of teens’ calories Kids also ate a small amount of pizza for breakfast or as snacks. On days when children had this indulgence, they ate 202 more calories over the course of the day compared with days when they didn’t. For teens, pizza snacks added 365 calories to the daily total.
