The difference

300 kcal

A pizza is a lot of dough, cheese and oil, and a whole one is a big meal. A burger is bread, beef and cheese, with almost as much protein: 38 g against 40 g in the whole pizza.

Portions change the answer. Half a pizza is about 500 kcal, less than the burger, and a small fast food hamburger is about 250. One slice is 125.

Chips and a milkshake with the burger, or garlic bread with the pizza, count for a lot. In Caltype just type "burger and chips".
