The Holiday Meal is a 3000 Calorie Deal

Its holiday time and it seems that getting into the holiday spirit requires eating. But it helps to have a clear view of your choices as the Thanksgiving meal approaches.

The typical Thanksgiving meal is around 3000 calories. Here are some easy alternatives to lighten the calorie load.

Appetizers

Instead of eating the cheese and crackers or the pate' - eat the vegetables and a small amount of dip or scallops (not the wrapped kind). You can save yourself over 700 calories.
Be careful of the nuts that are displayed in nice little bowls all over the room - ½ cup of mixed nuts is 440 calories.

Main Meal

The turkey itself is not bad, calorie wise, but if you can go for the white meat and skip the skin you will be saving calories there.
Easy on the gravy it is about 40 calories per tablespoon.
The stuffing is heavy on calories so practice portion control or skip it all together.
Fill up on the vegetables.

Dessert

Any dessert made from white flour is going to be high in calories. If you're going to have pie, have a small piece.
Another alternative is to bring something other than pie for dessert.

Alcohol

Last but not least minimize the amount of alcohol you drink. You can drink a lot of calories in just one drink. For every glass of alcohol, drink a glass of water. It will help to fill you up and you won't get dehydrated.
