The Day After Thanksgiving and Daily Health Report - Day 18

Tweet

The normal calorie count for a thanksgiving meal is 4500 per person. That's a lot of food. My son is a bachelor and likes to play video games. His apartment doesn't have a dining room, so he didn't have a table. When he said he would make the dinner I readily agreed to have it at his apartment. He said he would cook. He did. He cooked from scratch the turkey. The rest was preservative-laden of the instant variety. Stovetop Turkey stuffing. Idahoan Instant garlic roasted mashed potatoes. Steamed vegetable medley - broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots, and Heath pie from Perkins restaurant. It was all delicious and very high in sodium except for the steamed vegetables. We ate at the coffee table in the living room, and the food was on the island in the kitchen. The food was good, the turkey was delicious and the pie was mouth-watering. I was stuffed when he took me home last night. So, here are yesterday's totals that I spent this morning burning off in the pool. Calories: 1260 Sugar: 68.5 Carbs: 153 Protein: 27.2 Sodium: 1955 Fat: 58.7 A typical slice of pie is 1/8. I ate half that much, so it cut down a lot on the calories and sugar that it could have been. I'm really happy with yesterday's calories. It could have been a lot worse. How did you do yesterday with your Thanksgiving feast? The picture is the coffee table we ate at.
