Okay...since most women I know complain about the weight they gain during the holidays due to the yummy desserts,I found this set of tips. Tells you how to enjoy the sweets...while at the same time saving you some of the extra calories. Interesting tidbit #1...taking away 5 nuts on your pecan pie can save you 100 calories.
Americans are preparing for the sumptuous feasts coming up this
holiday season.
Keri Glassman, a registered dietitian and
Women's Health magazine contributing editor, visited "Good Morning America" to reveal which sweets are least likely to destroy your
diet and to show you how you can cut calories from four pies you'll most likely see on the
dessert table.
Here are her tips.
All nutritional information is based on one-eighth of a whole
pie
Pumpkin Pie
Pumpkin pie is generally the best pick on the dessert table. Because it's an open-face pie and has less crust, it generally has fewer calories per slice than many other pies.
One slice contains 361 calories, 14 grams of fat (5 grams saturated) and 21 grams of sugar.
Tip: If you cut off about half the crust -- crust on the back of the slice -- you can cut about 70 calories.
