Few things are tastier than thanksgiving dinner. But on a holidays that's known for being a universal day of stuffing your face, it's hard to stick to your diet. eDiets recently did an article on the most calorie-laden foods of Thanksgiving, and if you're looking to cut calories this holiday, here are the things they recommend you avoid:
- Stuffing. Stuffing can be healthy but often it's not. It can cost you 358 cals for one cup and 18 g of fat if you're not careful
- Candied Yams. Candied is just another way of saying 'sugar-laden'. A serving of these babies will cost you 369 cal and 23 g of fat.
- Mashed Potatoes. Proceed with caution with this one. If you do have them, avoid the butter
- Green Bean Casserole. If it's topped with fried onions, you're looking at 240 cal and 16 of fat for a serving.
- Rolls. Fresh bread roles are 90 calories a piece and that's without butter.
- Pies. This one should go without saying. But really, what's thanksgiving without pumpkin pie? Just be sure to avoid the pecan pie -- it's deadly.
