Here we go again, folks! I gave you the calorie calculator on Halloween, and now I’m directing you to my new, favorite Thanksgiving tool on About.com. It’s not for the faint of heart; I will tell you that right now! You have got to be brave to use this Thanksgiving calorie counting calculator! Using it will not only allow you to estimate how many calories you will consume in today’s meal, based on each item you eat, but it will tell you how far you will have to walk in order to burn off what you consume!

Considering that most people consume upwards of 2,000 calories in one Thanksgiving meal, many of you may prefer to keep yourselves in the dark, but for those of you that would rather not have to run a 10K just to get back to your pre-Thanksgiving weight, you may want to use this calculator. It might be the difference between you having a *f.a.t. holiday rather than a fat holiday! Knowledge is power, people!

Happy Thanksgiving!
