I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving Day. The holiday season is officially here! With it comes lots of shopping and lots of eating. Paying attention to portion sizes now is an important key to keeping your holiday calorie intake under control.
Choosing smaller servings or sharing ordinary servings, especially of high fat and high sugar foods, makes a major difference in your overall calorie intake. Choices make a difference. Consider these calorie comparisons:
Small fry = 225 calories vs. Large fry = 515 calories Regular cheeseburger = 330 vs. Quarter Pound Cheeseburger = 515 12 oz. cola (child’s size) = 115 calories vs. 32 oz. (large) = 310 calories Starbucks tall mocha (skim, no whip) = 170 calories vs. vente mocha = 450 calories Consider the calorie savings of sharing foods: ¼ order of onion rings = 125 calories vs. whole order of onion rings = 475 ½ piece of pumpkin pie = 170 calories vs. whole piece of pumpkin pie = 340 ½ cup eggnog = 172 calories vs. 1 cup eggnog = 344 You don’t have to give up your favorite foods this holiday season, just consider downsizing or sharing with your friends or family. It may make the difference in helping you maintain or even lose weight this holiday season.
