Portion
To burn it off
This is the plate most of the UK eats on Christmas Day: roast turkey, roast potatoes, stuffing, sprouts, a couple of pigs in blankets, cranberry sauce and gravy. Together that is about 950 kcal.
The turkey brings most of the 55 g of protein. The roast potatoes are the biggest single number on the plate at 300, then the pigs in blankets and the stuffing.
Turkey, roast potatoes, stuffing and gravy alone come to about 705. Sprouts and gravy barely move it. Pudding, the cheese board and the drinks are on top, and they are their own pages.
Tips
- 1Fill half the plate with turkey and veg, then add the rest as you like.
- 2Have the roast potatoes you love and skip the ones you eat out of habit.
- 3Wait twenty minutes before seconds. It is a long day and there is pudding.
