Here’s How Many Calories Are Lurking in Your Thanksgiving Dinner

If you’re like most people, you’ll be loosening your belt a few notches on Thanksgiving Day. But do you have any clue how many calories you end up consuming to get that uncomfortable post-meal bloat that makes you plop on the couch? Maybe you don’t want to. Eh, what the hell: The average American reportedly packs away approximately 3,000 calories and nearly 160 grams of fat in a Thanksgiving meal, according to the Calorie Control Council. Going back for seconds of turkey, some taters, and a little gravy (and you know you probably will) likely adds another 500–1,000 calories easily. When I read that, I thought it was baloney—that much? No way! Then I made a list of what I typically eat in a sitting on the fourth Thursday of every November and calculated the calories. It is a great deal of food. I must admit that—whoa, it’s a lot of stuffing!
