Happy Thanksgiving!

I heard that the average American eats a Thanksgiving Day meal containing 3,000 calories. Ouch! That’s way more than the 2,000 calorie diet allowed for the day. But really, the entire holiday revolves around food.

This is what I consider to be the typical Thanksgiving Day food agenda for most people:

12 a.m. to 2 a.m. - A “snack” for those who are up preparing for the big day, whether it be cleaning or cooking. Anyone who was out drinking all night is likely at a diner or restaurant getting breakfast.

9 a.m. - A very small breakfast consisting of juice and a granola bar.

12 p.m. - Cheese and crackers, Doritos, chips and dip, pretzels and whatever else was put out before dinner.

1 p.m. - Thanksgiving Day dinner: Turkey, stuffing, gravy, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, green bean casserole, carrots and cranberry sauce.

3 p.m. - Dessert: Pumpkin pie, pumpkin role and something non-pumpkin.

7 p.m. – A second helping of dessert at another relative’s home.

11:30 p.m. – Cold turkey.

If you consider the entire day, we probably consume 4,000 calories or more. But if you ask me, it’s worth it. So eat up! (Just be sure to exercise heavily on Friday).

Happy Thanksgiving!!
