The holidays are a time for giving thanks, spending time with friends and family, wearing ugly Christmas sweaters and…packing on pounds. The average adult (depending on gender and age) should have within 1500-2000 calories TOTAL per DAY. Calories need to go in (for energy purposes) and most come out (by exercising) or a person will gain weight. Check out the calorie totals for these favorite holiday delicacies.
How many have calories are you eating?
Six-ounces of turkey = 400 calories
1/2 cup of gravy = 150 calories
1/2 cup of cranberry sauce = 150 calories
1/2 cup green bean casserole = 150 calories
1/2 cup mashed potatoes = 150 calories
1 roll = 100 calories
1/2 cup sweet potatoes casserole = 300 calories
1/2 cup stuffing = 150 calories
Pie = 300 to 500 calories depending on kind
One meal containing each of these items can add up to 1750 calories! That doesn’t include more calories if you didn’t pay attention to serving seizes or if you had seconds or thirds. The average holiday meal is closer to 2,500 calories. You will need to walk almost 26 to burn it off.
