Hefty Holidays

The average weight gain over the holidays is about 6 pounds...

Tis the season – for weight gain. If you’d like to avoid packing on the extra pounds – you should probably avoid this meal:

• Drink: Eggnog – 350 calories, 20 grams of fat – and that’s WITHOUT the booze.

• Appetizer: Spinach and artichoke dip – 285 calories and 17 grams of fat – and that’s WITHOUT the crackers.

• Entrée: Prime rib – 750 calories and 45 grams of fat – and that’s WITHOUT the horseradish dip.

• Desert: Pecan Pie – 800 calories and 65 grams of fat – and that’s without the a la mode.

Grand total of this festive meal: 1900 calories and 130 grams of fat.
