Unhealthy Holiday Foods You Should Avoid.

The holiday season is synonymous with treats, but some festive foods can be very nutritionally dense. Here are some holiday favorites to enjoy mindfully. Holiday Cookies are often loaded with butter, sugar, and refined flour, offering little nutritional value. With oversized servings containing up to 800 calories, it's easy to overindulge. Eggnog is a calorie-dense drink, with one cup containing 400 calories, 20 grams of fat, and 48 grams of sugar. High in unhealthy fats and sodium, bacon adds significant calories, especially when paired with cheese, hot dogs or croissants. While delicious, fudge is packed with sugar and fat, offering minimal nutrients. Enjoy a small piece or swap it for dark chocolate for a healthier option. With 541 calories per slice, pecan pie is a calorie bomb. Stick to a smaller slice and skip the whipped cream or ice cream to manage your intake.
