Thanksgiving, also known as the broke college student’s day of grace, is the day where it is nationally known that you can consume as much food as you want without judgment. In a statistic published in the New York Times, it is stated that the average American consumes around 4,500 calories during their Thanksgiving meal, which is over two times the recommended intake for college-age females for the day. If you still want to enjoy your turkey and your mom’s famous pie without needing to unbuckle your pant buttons to fit the extra room, look at these five helpful infographics below to help you eat within your means this Thanksgiving day.
