The Truth About Christmas Food Calories - Made Fit TV - Ep. 75

December 8th, 2009 | | Email This Post Email This Post |

The “Holiday Season” provides a huge reason for people to stick to their health and fitness program.  The last thing you want is extra weight to have to chip away at for your New Year’s Resolution goal, right?  To keep you from falling of a wagon (and crashing into a barn!) over the holidays, you need to be aware of what you’re eating - and what it takes to burn it off!

In this weeks Made Fit TV episode, I give you an eye-opener about your favorite Christmas treats.  From egg nog to candy canes, I show you what a portion is, how many calories in that portion, and what you would have to do to burn off the calories you ate.  So before you eat all of Santa’s cookies your kids put out, you may want to watch this and reconsider!

    Hey Tracey..here is a lighter version of eggnog that I make and it's pretty tasty!!

    This makes 4 servings
    3 C skim milk
    1 C water
    1/2 to 3/4 box of fat free/sugar free vanilla pudding. (depends on how thick you like it..I use 3/4 package
    1/2 tsp nutmeg
    1 tsp rum extract.

    Put it all in a blender and voila!
  • MMM! Thanks, buckboy! This looks delish, too! I don't care if it's past the Holidays, I want to make this for NYE : ) Cheers! XO

    Jenny,

    I love your podcasts!!! I am a workout amature, but you are really helping me stay motivated! I've started my workouts during this busy holiday season. I figure that if I can do it now, I will be able to keep it up later.
    I love the healthy recipes too!
  • That is the PERFECT way to look at it!! Nice job getting your ducks in a row now. Because if you keep it up, it will never feel like a chore - it will just be your healthy and fit way of life! So glad I can help : ) Thanks, Martha! Have a great Holiday!

    I love the math. People look at me like I am speaking Klingon when I give it to them but I really love it. Your analogies are excellent also. Hey Jenny how long will someone have to do the dance "The Jerk" burn off Christmas M & M's ? LOL

    Once again great stuff .
  • Hey, I'm so glad you understand the numbers of it all, because that's what it sometimes boils down to! I would love to see YOU dance like the Jerk. LOL!! Have an awesome Holiday and thanks so much for watching. XO

    Jenny,you're too cute with the fruit cake!!
    I really liked this episode. I found it really informative. I see now that if I really want that glass of eggnog,I better move a bit more that day! No reason it has to be off limits.
    Keep the nutritional stuff coming!
    BTW: More healthy holiday recipes..maybe a light eggnog?
  • Exactly, you don't have to deprive yourself from enjoying a cookie or two. As long as you know what you're eating and can't blame something else in case your waistline expands. LOL! Thanks for being such a loyal fan! I'll have to look into that egg nog recipe moderation. Hmmmm... : )
