That Thanksgiving spread will soon face you. And what will you do? Stuff your face? Or proceed with caution? I suppose the stuffing-your-face approach is OK if you keep the practice to random days, like this one reserved for giving thanks (for good food, right?). But if you're keen on keeping your cool on the calorie front, you might want to try this trick for navigating your table of temptation. All you'll need is a PDA -- I'm not talking a personal display of affection (save that for the mistletoe). Nope, a personal digital assistant is the tool you need.So you've got a yummy slice of pumpkin pie in your sight. Here's what you do: Grab that PDA and type in calorieking.com/mobile. When you land at your destination, type in "pumpkin pie" and click "Go." Immediately, some pumpkin pie options will pop up. Just pick your pie and all sorts of nutritional facts will appear before your very eyes. I just tried this quick search and went with a Sara Lee Oven Fresh frozen pumpkin pie. Here's the scoop: One slice has 260 calories, 37 g of carbohydrates, 11 g of fat, 4 g or protein, and 2 g of fiber. No mention of sugar, but believe me, it's in there.
What do you think -- do you grab that pumpkin pie or let the moment pass? It's up to you and Calorie King to decide.
