Thanksgiving has always been one of my favorite holidays, but I also know how stressful it can be the entire day is filled with food, people unbuckling their belts and there I am.
*plan out what you want to eat in advance
*wear tight clothes (I love my spanx)
*understand how much you are eating proportionately
*eat slowly
*eat before you are around the food so you don't pick at it
*water, water, water and green tea!
*showing up late also helps if you don't mind being untimely
one important thing to keep in mind is the average person eats 3,000 calories (299 grams of fat) for thanksgiving dinner and it will be easy for us to get nowhere near that.
some numbers:
turkey (4oz)
white meat with skin- 185 calories
white meat with out skin- 158 calories
dark meat with skin- 206 calories
dark meat without skin- 183 calories
baked ham (3oz with natural juices) 107
stuffing (1 cup) 400 calories
green bean casserole (I'm guessing about 1/2 cup) 270 calories
mashed potatoes (3/4 cup)
with butter and milk- 170 calories
sweet potatoes plain (1 cup) 250 calories
cranberry sauce (1tsp) 26 calories
hash brown casserole (1 cup) 320 calories
deviled eggs (two halves) 140 calories
fresh fruit salad (1 cup) 70 calories
dinner roll (small) 75 calories
Those are just the few that I could think of. I hope this helps you all have a peaceful Thanksgiving!
