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.

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!
