Texans Lose Their Minds Over Thanksgiving Calorie Count

It's that time of year again when Texas finally starts to cool down and our appetites start to heat up in anticipation of the holidays!

Gobble gobble y'all! Thanksgiving is just a few weeks away!

And Texans are losing their minds when they find out just how many calories one Thanksgiving meal will cost them.

Have you ever wondered just how many calories Texans consume for just the average  Thanksgiving meal? Ya, me either.

I don't even think I want to know!!!!

The table is set, the food is warm, and everyone waits for the feast.

Mmmm ... can't you just smell it already?

Right here at this moment, you are at zero calories. 

So far so good. OMG is that the smell of fresh rolls coming out of the oven???

Thanksgiving, my fellow Texans, will cost you, on average 3,000 calories. More than 3,500 if you go back for small seconds. Coincidentally you will need to burn off 3500 calories to lose ONE POUND OF FAT!

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 PEOPLE!!!! 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.

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?

A 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!

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!!!!
