Save 1,273 calories and 92 grams of fat over the traditional version with this healthy Thanksgiving dinner makeover.
With all the great Thanksgiving dishes to taste, chances are you’ll eat far more
calories
on Turkey Day than you would at a typical dinner. But if you just have a
light breakfast and lunch or snack, our version of the big meal, which
has less than half the calories and a quarter of the fat of a
traditional Thanksgiving meal, can easily fit into a healthy 1,500- to
2,000-calorie day. With a few simple changes to the classic Thanksgiving
menu, our healthy Thanksgiving menu – which still includes turkey,
gravy,
stuffing, sweet potatoes, onions, green beans and pumpkin pie – saves
1,273 calories and 92 grams of fat over the traditional version. Here’s
how it compares to a menu with traditional versions of these dishes.
