Thanksgiving Dinner: The True Diet Buster

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – Turkey, potatoes, pie…the list goes on.

We love stuffing our faces this one day a year, but no surprise, this isn't a great day for anyone watching their weight.

According to the Calorie Control Council, many consume more than 4,500 calories and 229 grams of fat while enjoying their holiday meal.

Those numbers don't even include appetizers and drinks.

Hopefully you enjoyed your big meal! Hopefully you also get a chance to burn some of it off.
