How Many Calories Are In That Thanksgiving Meal?
Your Thanksgiving feast won’t have nutritional information as you find in restaurants. No worries, we’ll count up the calories for you.
According to the Calorie Control Council, an average American consumes 3,000 calories and 150 grams of fat in a traditional Thanksgiving meal. That’s without seconds!
That’s about the same as having 6 McDonald’s Big Macs or 12 servings of Haagen-Dazs ice cream. To burn off Thanksgiving dinner, a 160-pound person would have to run moderately for 4 hours or swim for 5 hours. Whew.
The average American downs as many as 4,000 calories in one meal on Thanksgiving Day. 😱 Here's how to keep your plate under control on turkey day. 🍗 #eatsmart #Thanksgiving #thanksgivingdinner #eatsmartlivesmarter #healthyholiday pic.twitter.com/xmJb09cS0S
