Some neat information...

I got this from this really neat website (from a WLS blog): http://livingafterwls.blogspot.com/2005/11/whats-on-your-thanksgiving-plate.html Check out the comparison of the before and after WLS turkey plates. What an eye opener!! A WLS Friendly Thanksgiving plate: (1.25 cup volume) # 3-ounces turkey (light & dark meat) # ¼ cup cooked squash or cooked carrots (no fat) # ¼ cup cooked green beans (no fat) # 1 tablespoon light gravy (homemade, little fat) # 1 tablespoon no-sugar cranberry sauce # 1 small serving sugar-free dessert (small serving is 2-3 bites) Nutritional data: 227 calories; 25.2 grams protein; 8.1 grams fat; 9.6 grams carbs The Traditional American Thanksgiving plate: # 12-ounces turkey (light & dark meat) # 1-cup mashed potatoes # 1-cup bread stuffing # 1-6 ounce serving green bean casserole # ½ cup turkey gravy # 2 tablespoons sugar-added cranberry sauce # 2 Honey-wheat rolls w/1 pat butter each # 1 piece traditional pumpkin pie Nutritional data: 2,511 calories; 132.3 grams protein; 101.3 grams fat; 270.9 grams carbs
