So, I've been calculating things for Thanksgiving ....
This is what I can expect (gulp):
Turkey: 212 calories
Dressing (aka stuffing): 114 calories
Macaroni and Cheese: 340 calories
Sweet Potatoes: 124 calories
Steamed Corn: 50 calories
Green Bean Casserole: 65 calories
Baked Apples: 70 calories
Pumpkin Mash: 65 calories
Total: 1040
And that doesn't even include the appetizers, rolls, gravy or cranberry sauce!!!
BUMMER. I was hoping to keep it around 700 calories. Well, these calculations are for full servings. With this much food, I definitely don't need full servings!
Just imagine how bad it would be if I wasn't cutting down on the fattening ingredients?!? YIKES.
Good to know the calorie counts when I eat the leftovers too ... after all, Thanksgiving cheating should only be allowed for one day!
