Portion
To burn it off
A Thanksgiving plate is turkey with stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, cranberry sauce, a roll and a spoon of each casserole. All of it together comes to about 1,100 kcal.
That plate has 60 g of protein, 105 g of carbs and 48 g of fat. The turkey is the lean part, with 44 g of protein in a 195 kcal portion. The sweet potato casserole is the heaviest side, at 350.
Pie comes after. A slice of pumpkin pie adds 320, pecan pie 500. That is one big meal, once a year, and it is fine.
Tips
- 1Take more turkey and green stuff and a smaller spoon of the casseroles.
- 2Choose one pie and have a full slice instead of a thin slice of three.
- 3Go for a walk between dinner and dessert. Football in the yard counts.
