in Chit-Chat
There was some article floating around about how the average American eats 4500 calories on Thanksgiving. For those of you who did your best to log it, how many calories did you come out to? I'm curious how accurate that estimate is!

I ate 3380 today.

    I'm up to about 1800.

    But I also managed to burn 1000 at Boot Camp earlier this morning so my net is around 800.

    I still have pie and probably more wine, but I am pretty confident I'll not be too far over my target.

    Amazing self-control up in here! I went all out. Four pieces of pie, no regrets.

    I'm at almost 2700 which is not that far above maintenance for me.

    1432-I went for a long walk in the snow so my net will be less. Portion control is key! :wink:

    1673 so far(my daily goal is 1500 net). I might have a snack later, if I do some yoga to earn it. I worked out this morning, so that gave me a few extra calories. :happy: I'm determined to stay "green" even though it's Thanksgiving. :smile:

    I had breakfast, sang in a early morning mass. Took a morning bike ride, then had 1250 calories for Turkey Day. I am proud of my portion control. My macros are shot to hell, but i am not going to beat myself up about it. After all for me its only once a year.

    WELL OVER! Did run a 5K this am and no alcohol for me today.

    The goal is around 5k. I won't be working out or 'earning' any calories. I'm not one to bemoan being in the red though; it happens too often to stress about it.

    1800 is just not enough some days.

    1371, with 400 to spare, and full beyond all belief. I planned ahead, and it paid off. :happy:

    1600, which is the max I allow myself on my weekly "cheat" day (usually Sunday, bumped to Thurs. this week). I came out even due to my workout this AM, plus banked a huge deficit over the rest of the week, so I should be good.

    I had turkey, mashed turnip, acorn squash, mashed potatoes and broccoli salad. No rolls, no stuffing, no cider or eggnog, no dessert. I feel great!

    About 1400, but I might eat some more turkey as a snack while watching Doctor Who since I have about 300 left. I also planned my "Dinner" (we eat at 3pm) last week, and did a treadmill workout this morning.

    I read that article and I was not even going to log today but I was curious so I did. I ate 2195. I was 266 over calorie goal as I had 529 exercise calories to eat back.

    Right around 1900 although I think there were a few tastes while I was cooking that I didnt log. I'm really proud of it though... my first holiday since I've been on track and although I'm over by about 50 calories I enjoyed every bite, dont feel like I overindulged and didnt bring home the 5 lbs of leftovers I normally would have :)

    How in the world can you all even calculate it ?!?!?

    Fried turkey and more than a half dozen homemade sides prepared by 3 different people, plus homemade cakes and pies...there's no way to even guesstimate. I'm kinda curious, but even if I measured out portions, I'd have no idea how many calories each thing contained.
