I saw a television programme last night that said that a typical
calorie intake for Christmas day was 6000 calories!

Cheers,

I did an example food plan after seeing a programme that said you would need
to walk from London to Calais (about 70 miles) to work it off. And with
kedgeree for breakfast with champagne, turkey dinner with all the trimmings,
red wine, Christmas pudding, mince pie, mulled wine, choclates, nuts,
satsumas, christmas cake, turkey sandwich and night cap I made it 5125 cals!
Needless to say I shan't be eating that!

Well after a disappointing up of 1kg last week, it was a surprising
down of 800g this week.

Good grief.

That makes sense.

Do you have guests who do eat fat? Do you give them fattier food
options?

In the same way that I don't expect people to cater to my food choices,
my friends don't expect DH and I to cater to theirs. At our parties,
guests are welcome to bring whatever they wish and it is custom to
bring *something* whenever you go to someone's house for a casual
social gathering. Those who know DH and I well enough to be guests at
our place know that we don't eat junk food and that it has to be
"imported." It's the same with certain kinds of alcohol. I don't
drink tequila these days so those who want margaritas need to BYOB.

I have yet to have any complaints about the quality of the food I
prepare for guests or for that matter what I bring to other gatherings.
I've turned friends on to some fabulous lower fat dishes over the
years.

In Maine you always bring something too!

Isn't it great when other people gobble up your offering and you can tell
them it's perfectly healthy?
