It happens each year: The dishes you’ve been craving<\/a> all season long are finally passed around the table, and before you know it your plate is piled up to your head with turkey, stuffing, green bean<\/a> casserole, mashed potatoes \u2014 all smothered with a heaping portion of gravy. It’s a masterpiece, yes. But it’s also a single meal that can total anywhere from 2,500 to 4,500 calories<\/a> (nearly twice the calories recommended daily). While there’s no need to skip your favorite feast in the name of fitness, we recommend taking a peek at this infographic, which puts those cals into perspective. It’s not all bad news, though. That Thanksgiving Day Turkey Trot<\/a> will earn you a delicious slice of Mom’s apple pie. But you just might think twice about the gravy: A quarter-cup will cost you 50 burpees<\/a>! Find out how much you have to work<\/em> for each Turkey Day dish here.<\/p>\n
