Stuffed Like A Turkey: A Texas-Sized Feast Calorie Count

Texans are known for being beef eaters but let's get real, Texans LOVE their turkey too!

So much so that here is what Texas Thanksgiving meal will cost you in calories!

Gobble gobble Texas! Thanksgiving is less than two weeks away! 

Thanksgiving dinner in Texas will cost you on average... 3,000 calories.

More than 3,500 calories if you go back for small seconds. And everything is bigger in Texas so you could be looking at 4500 plus just in one sitting.

Coincidentally, in order to BURN OFF just one little bitty pound of fat, you will need to work off 3500 of those calories.

That's a whopping four hours of running continuously at a moderate pace to burn off the average amount of calories most Texans consume during their Thanksgiving meal, and that's only if YOU didn't go back for seconds. 

FOUR HOURS Texas!

Who can run for four hours straight??? NOT ME! 

Did you know that 3,000 calories is the equivalent of 14 donuts or 6 Big Macs?

One cup of basic stuffing according to The Manual is about 350 calories. Come on! Who only has one cup of stuffing on Thanksgiving???

A slice of pumpkin pie? 316 calories.

What about sweet potato casserole? 235 calories! Because come on, you don't eat it plain!

A 1/4 cup of cranberry sauce from the can? 100 calories.

Traditional green bean casserole, hold the bacon? 191 calories.

A cup of mashers? You don't want to know. Okay fine,  a single cup of regular mashed potatoes is 237 calories.

A single cup of mashed potatoes is what we serve the babies at the kids' table! Get outta here with that!

Eating only one cup of mashed potatoes at Thanksgiving is just ludicrous!

Oh, our beloved corn on the cob... 195 calories.

Sadly, about the least caloric thing on your Thanksgiving plate is the turkey itself.

An average serving of turkey is three ounces at about 171 calories.

Happy Holidays Y'all!!!!
