I hope you are having a happy Thanksgiving. Disney posted this on their blog today. Disney states that 1.6 million turkey drumsticks were consumed last year at WDW and DL. That's 1,817,600,000 total calories and 8,640,000 total grams of fat served in a year just on turkey legs!
That's enough calories to feed an entire football team (53 people) the recommended 2,000 calorie diet for the next 47 years!
At Wellspring Camps and Academies we recommend a very low fat (VLF) diet. 20 grams of fat is the max, with the goal of shooting for zero. How does a turkey leg fit into this? At 54 grams of fat in a leg, it's 2.7 days allotment of fat. Turkey sandwiches with lean meat (usually 1 gram of fat per serving) is a much better option!
