We made it through Thanksgiving without too much damage to our waistlines, now on to Christmas.

Nobody wants to think about calories every time they take a bite. That’s a bit Scroogish.
But, hey, it’s always a good idea to be informed.

So with that in mind, here’s a little tidbit worth knowing from the December issue of Shape magazine:

The High Price of Holiday Nibbles:

2 spoonfuls of cookie batter: 128 calories, 6 g fat
4 sips of egnog: 86 calories, 5 g fat
2 pigs in a blanket: 72 calories, 6 g fat
1 small handful of party mix, 60 calories, 3 g fat
1 small cheese cube, 69 calories, 6 g fat
1 slice honeybaked ham, 70 calories, 2 g fat
1 large forkful of pecan pie, 101 calories, 1 g fat

All good food for thought.
