This Christmas, Don’t Turn Into Santa

Christmas is a time to eat, drink and be merry. You can still enjoy yourself by making smarter choices and keeping portions under control. Remember you have worked too damn hard to throw it all away. 

Here's a list of Christmas goodies and roughly their calories:  

•  Fruit mince pie (150g)  = 250 calories
•  Shortbread cookie (1)  = 40 calories
• Ginger bread cookies (37g)  = 134 calories 
• Candy cane (1) = 50 calories 
• Fruit cake (1 small slice) = 139 calories
• Plum pudding (115g)  = 335 calories 
• Fudge = 117 calories and 20 grams of sugar
• Rum balls (1 ball) = 110 calories 
• Scorched almonds (4) = 160 calories 
• Cadbury chocolates (3) - 160 calories 
• Roast potatoes (150g) = 149 calories 
• Brie cheese (25g) = 76 calories
• Crackers (25g) = 128 calories 
• White dinner roll = 130 calories
• Pork crackling (100g) = 544 calories
• Bacon -(1 rasher) = 126 calories
• Champagne 150ml = 123 calories
• White wine 150ml = 127 calories
• Red wine 150ml = 119 calories
• Beer 375ml = 144 calories
•  Beer low carb 375ml = 106 calories
• Vodka 30ml = 70 calories
• Bailey's 50ml = 164 calories 
• Egg nog = 350 to 400 calories per cup and up to 40 grams of sugar
• Mulled wine = 170 to 230 calories per cup

Eating in moderation means to eat healthy nutritious foods most of the time and to be able to indulge in pleasurable foods without any guilt on special occasions. Staying healthy over Christmas doesn’t have to mean that everything slightly unhealthy is off-limits. It’s important to treat yourself from time to time and Christmas is a perfect opportunity.

I wish you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
