It's eggnog season!

To balance all the dieting folks are signing up for, I’d like to post a big yeah to Eggnog. I had my first glass of the season last night. Pint glass full. Yum!

I will confess that after I enjoyed my liquid dessert, I was dumb enough to look at the calories. Serving size 1/2 cup. Calories per serving: 180. Ooops. Sounds like the run is going to be a little longer this weekend!

Mmmmm, Egg Nog!!

I had my first glass of the season last night.<

with bourbon, I hope.

Southern Comfort has a red-carton type that is a vanilla egg nog… Yum!

I do this stuff by the gallon.

Noooooooooooooooooo!!!

After gaining nearly 15# since July I just restarted training and need to start trimming some of the fat… I must tell the wife not to bring any home this year, I must not go to the store and pick any up… I must stay away from that evil 400 cal / cup product they call EGGNOG…

The whole fat stuff is too rich for me by the glassful, so I either ad an ounce or two to coffee, or buy the light eggnog. So far as I can tell, it tastes the same.

Mix it with some Vernors!

I do an entire liter (1,600 calories, 88 grams of fat and 184 grams of carbohydrates) in one evening!

It’s a wonder I’m 170# and not 270# :wink:

This thread SCREAMS for an eggnog smackdown!!!

Good Lord, that would be so wicked.

Stop it, people should eat more fruit. I am enjoying a lovely dessert bowl of orange, apple, apricot, prunes and raisins with some grated cinnamon over it, delicious.

Oh, I forgot to say that I nuked it in the microwave after pouring some port over it!

Like I say fruit is good for you :wink:

OK, and I didn’t tell you that often that’s 1 LITER PER DAY!

I do put on about 5 pounds from now to January, but I can’t blame it all on Ms Egg Nog because Mr. Tamale and Miss Various Other Snacks all contribute :wink:

EEEEEWWWW. You’re making me gag.

Tamales, my favorite part of the holiday season. Actually I think I’ll have a pretty holiday season warm up for lunch today!

Gag?! You calorie/weight weenies! You haven’t lived life until you can down a liter of Promised Land Egg Nog, because up until then you’ve been cheating yourself out of one of the simple pleasures of life… only a bag of Ruffles with Ridges, french onion dip and an ice-cold Coca Cola comes close… or maybe the large Mexican Vanilla Amy’s ice cream with strawberries in a freshly-baked waffle cone :wink:

STAY AWAY FROM ME, YOU FREAK!

Just reading your posts made me gain 5.7 lb. Bastard.

Its not the calories, I just think eggnog gross. Mass quantities of eggnogg is down right revolting. I’ve never liked it. I can get behind a ginerbread latte though. Yum. My roommate went out and bought a bottle of the gingerbread syrup for our morning espresso. Bless her.

Hey

As I was grabbing my skim milk and longing for the eggnog sittin’ right next to it, I saw that there are 2 new flavors out for us New Englanders.
Pumpkin
Cinnamon :open_mouth:

the clerk last night did tease me about my quart of eggnog, and a quart of nonfat milk. Not very consistent.

irondad- I will gladly eat at your house anyday! I like fritos with my french onion dip though, they’re stronger so you can hold more dip. Hmm, no wonder my cholestrol is 240! LOL.

Personal favorite pig out food: Chicago style hot dog with everything, fries and a root beer float.

OK… I’ll do the Fritos with you, but they have to be the skinny ones, because as we all know they taste different than the larger ones :wink:

(And truthfully I can’t remember when I’ve last had chips, but damn if I’ll deny myself them during the holiday get-togethers!)
