| 3,326 Calories at Thanksgiving Dinner!?
Thats right
Ever wonder how much you eat at a holiday meal?
Well lets see Turkey Leg 1,136 calories (if you eat turkey breast with skin, 220 calories per 4 ounces)
Mashed Potatoes 234 calories ( 4 ounces with 1 ounce of gravy)
Cranberry Sauce 258 calories (3 slices)
Green Bean Casserole 110 calories (2/3 cup)
1 Roll 174 calories (2 ounces, add 35 calories per pat of butter)
Ham 200 calories (4 ounces)
Stuffing with gravy 283 calories (1/2 cup stuffing with 1 ounce of gravy)
Sweet Potatoes 112 calories (4 ounces)
Pecan Pie 503 calories (1 slice (1/8 of a pie)
Pumpkin Pie 316 calories (1 slice (1/8 of a pie)
Entire Meal 3,326 calories
Now lets see how do you burn that off now?
40 hours thats the time it would take for a 170 pound person to burn 3,300 calories watching TV. No snacks in between, of course.
50 holes The amount of golf it would take the same person to burn that meal. If you play 18 holes in four hours, you'd have to play for about 11 hours.
7 hours it would take that same size person on a treadmill (at 4 mph) to burn the calories from the meal above.
how many calories can you burn in an hour?
Lets see
This is based on a person at 170 lbs. Watching TV----------about 125 calories an hour
Washing dishes--------about 170 calories an hour
Grocery shopping-----about 270 calories an hour
Golfing with no cart -about 280 calories an hour
Gardening------------- about 360 calories an hour
Walking----------------about 440 calories an hour
Bicycling-------------- about 500 calories an hour
Swimming------------- about 660 calories an hour
Jogging---------------- about 760 calories an hour.
So you really can eat what you want, you just have to pay for it later LOL
