And here's what it will take to burn it all off:
If you plan on hitting the snowy slopes anytime soon, get ready to hit them a lot. It will take 15 hours of skiing to work off that turkey dinner.
Not a skier? How about 7.7 hours of running? That's two marathons -- if you're an experienced marathon runner.
Is there a heated pool at your gym? About 10.6 hours of swimming will do the trick.
Or how about some basketball? About 7.7 hours on the court and you'll feel like a Spur.
Or you can get pumped up with 12.3 hours of weight-lifting.
A family bike ride will work off that holiday meal -- just make sure it's 15 hours long.
Or if you're really concerned about burning off calories, maybe just cut back on the rich stuff this Turkey Day.
