Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
It seems early to start thinking about Thanksgiving, but as the holiday season approaches, the weeks begin to roll by remarkably fast. While some look forward to the holiday as a way to spend time with family and enjoy good food, others just think about it as a setback for their diet plans. Because of the family aspect, it is hard to turn down such good food (especially if you have a grandmother whose only goal in life seems to be to get you to eat another slice of pie), so it never hurts to get a head start on burning off some of those calories. Plus, if you get in some of the extra walking before hand, you won't feel so bad about sitting around and watching football for several hours the next day.
When you're planning your Thanksgiving indulgences, take a look at the Thanksgiving calorie calculator, which will ballpark the amount of energy you'll take in and tell you how much far you'll need to walk to burn it off. Useful, right? Once you see the numbers, you'll know why we're suggesting you get a head start!

It is based on a 150-160 pound person walking a moderate pace, which burns approximately 100 calories per mile. If you weigh more than 160 pounds, you will burn more calories per mile. If you weigh less, you will burn fewer calories per mile. I have links to more exact calorie calculators at the bottom of page.
If you wear a pedometer as you do the cooking, all of those steps and jiggles "count." I'd recommend a post-meal walk (even if you were the cook) as some research says that it alleviates the ill health effects of a high-fat meal. You still have all of the extra calories to deal with, but a good walk will help clear away the extra cholesterol and triglycerides.
