Can you believe that Christmas is so close? If you're doing your best to stick to healthy eating habits this holiday season, there are some irresistible foods you might run into at this week/weekend’s Christmas party that you should try not to indulge in.

    Ginger Bread

    It's got tons of flour, sugar, and buttermilk. One small piece can have 260 calories and 12 grams of fat. The fiber is the only real benefit, but the bad outweighs the good.

    Peanut Brittle

    It's basically just corn syrup, sugar, and butter. It depends on the brand, but one piece typically has about 150 calories and five grams of fat. So if you have three pieces, it's like eating a double cheeseburger at McDonald's, but with a little less fat.

    Swedish Meatballs

    I admit- these are my favorite. They're small, so it's easy to eat a lot but each one can easily be over 400 calories. That's 400 calories of white bread, butter, heavy cream, and salty beef broth. Ask yourself- is it worth it?

    Fruitcake

    This is definitely not healthy just because it has "fruit" in the name. One slice can have over 400 calories and 13 grams of fat. Besides, does anyone really honestly like fruitcake...other than my mother-in-law?

    Peacan Pie

    Pecans are already high in calories, but then you add sugar, butter, and corn syrup and in the end, one normal slice will be at least 500 calories, and have 37 grams of fat, and 26 grams of sugar. You're much better off with a slice of apple pie, which only has about 25% as much fat.

    Plum Pudding

    It's also called "Christmas Pudding", and you don't see it as much as you used to which is probably a GOOD thing. The traditional recipe calls for molasses, brandy, and candied fruit in the batter. Then you bake it in a pudding mold, after you've rubbed grease and sugar all over it. If you ask me, it sounds disgusting.  But I digress. One serving of plum budding has about 360 calories, 15 grams of fat, and 30 grams of sugar.
