4 Good/Bad Nutrition Information on Thanksgiving Dishes Turkey Breast The staple of any Thanksgiving dinner, turkey is a great low-fat proteinchoice. It's also high in tryptophan (it's what makes you feel sleepy post-meal) which is a precursor to the mood-boosting neurotransmitter, serotonin. Serving size: 3 oz Nutrition facts: 135 calories, 0 g carbs, 0 g fiber, 30 g protein, 1 g fat Green Bean Casserole Not only is green bean casserole made with fatty cream and whole milk, it's also topped with deep-fried onion rings. A cup of green bean casserole has three times the calories and fat as plain green beans. Serving size: 1 cup Nutrition facts: 142 calories, 14 g carbs, 3 g fiber, 3 g protein, 9 g fat Stuffing Stuffing is made with giblets, sausage, butter, and other ingredients high in fat and calories. A small serving of stuffing has 9 g of fat and very few nutrients. Serving size: 1/2 cup Nutrition facts: 160 calories, 18 g carbs, 1 g fiber, 3 g protein, 9 g fat Mashed Potatoes Mashed potatoes are most often mixed with a large amount of high calorie, high fat, and artery-clogging butter, cream, and milk. Plus, if you top them with homemade gravy (see #24 on our list), you'll add more than 200 extra calories to your meal. Serving size: 1/2 cup Nutrition facts: 116 calories, 17 g carbs, 2 g fiber, 2 g protein, 5 g fiber Homemade Gravy Most often made from turkey pan drippings, gravy is a high calorie topping for turkey and mashed potatoes. A quarter cup of gravy has little nutrients and 18 g of fat, most of which is saturated. Serving size: 1/4 cup Nutrition facts: 262 calories, 26 carbs, 0 g fiber, 4 g protein, 18 g fat
