Holiday Foods Unmasked!

Portions can be deceptive, especially when they're holiday favorites that you don't think twice about eating. But some of the smallest foods are actually big belly-ruiners. Find out how five seasonal staples stack up against popular junk foods so you can keep a more watchful eye on your diet during the holidays.

1 Cup of Eggnog = 8 Oreos

Just one mug of this sweet concoction has about 360 calories, the same count as a few handfuls of Oreos – and that's without any booze! A cup of eggnog also beats the sweets with about 45 grams of sugar versus the 40 grams found in the cookies.

4 Potato Pancakes = 3 Tablespoons of Ranch

Latkes vary greatly in size, but a meal's worth – or roughly four the size of your palm – isn't complete without a dollop of sour cream and applesauce. A serving of latkes can contain 21 grams of fat, and 2 tbsp of ranch dressing can contain around 15 grams of fat. If comparing sodium levels, the pancakes have about 750 mg, or about the same as a hefty 6 tablespoons of ranch.

10 Pigs in a Blanket = 1 Whopper

Who knew something so small could be so bad for you? Just 10 pigs in a blanket, sausages rolled up in crescent rolls, add up to 620 calories, 40 grams of fat and 1330 mg of sodium! In comparison, a Whopper has a similar number of calories, but 35 grams of fat and 980 mg of sodium.

4 Deviled Eggs = Basket of Onion Rings

Eggs may be one of the better sources of protein, but scooping out the yolks and adding mayo and other toppings make for an appetizer disaster. Just four halves, or two eggs, are about 20 grams of fat, which equals the fat content in a medium container of fast-food onion rings.

1 Slice of Pecan Pie = Pack of M&M's

Pecan pie is a sly saboteur: Just one slice packs 450 calories and 22 grams of fat – the same amount of sugar but twice the fat as a small pack of M&M's.
