Thanksgiving Calorie Counts on Regis ^ Kelly

Are SO wrong.

They said 2 glasses of wine, 2 glasses, was 210 calories. It should actually be 300+ calories, depending on the size of the glass.

1 slice of pumpkin pie – 300 calories. SO not true as it can easily be 400-500 calories because of the crust and the whipped cream. The actual filling isn’t that bad.

Stuffing, I think they said 250 calories. That’s true if cooked outside the bird, but in the bird, that could double because of the drippings from the bird.

My point is that you have to watch the portion sizes during these big holiday meals AND you have to know how it is prepared. Mashed potatoes with low-fat milk and low-fat sour cream, etc., is almost half the calories than if it’s done with real cream and butter. In Paris, mashed potatoes are 1/3 potato, 1/3 real cream and 1/3 butter. YIKES!
