I want to arm my readers with as much information as possible so you can survive the holidays. If I can say again, the key is to PLAN, prepare and make choices... don't eat everything. We all know deep down that a lot of that stuff we are eating at the holiday table is filled with lots of fat & too many calories so research ahead of time & make a "plan of attack".
Saying that, Diet Detective has a good article on many of the foods & finger foods we eat at the holidays & all year round. You can't pretend ignorance after reading this. The article does not give the fat calories, just total calories, but you can tell by the ingredients that a lot of fat is in there! For example: "ONE LARGE SCOOP OF BREAD STUFFING WITH SAUSAGE - A scoop of stuffing made with eggs, butter and sausage can be in the range of 350 to 500 calories, which means you'll be doing pirouettes, spins, jumps and pliés for 65 minutes nonstop." The article also offers up healthier choice suggestions and/or healthier ways to prepare the food. Read it here: http://www.dietdetective.com/content/view/31/158/
This newsletter also had a healthy rocky road muffin recipe. It uses Vitamuffin Mix which you have to buy online but it is something to keep in mind for a healthier treat option & the kids will love them! See that recipe here: http://www.dietdetective.com/content/view/2829/83/
