CALORIES IN GRAVY

Holiday Dieting Tips

Choosing the Super Foods

Enjoy your holidays, but don't enjoy too much gravy in the process.  One Tablespoon of gravy generally contains 20 to 60 calories - depending on the recipe.

Creamy gravies are going to contain more calories as the base comes from milk - generally whole milk, and many times from a rue where melted butter is used in the base recipe.

Clear gravy makes a better dieter's choice as the recipe leans on bullions and broths with a cornstarch/flour  thickener.  The downside is that bullions and broths are usually loaded with sodium.

See?  It's just about impossible to get away with good old gravy while remaining health wise.  But don't despair - we've got a safety net in place with our recipe for Glorious Diet Wise Gravy:

1 medium can of low sodium/low fat chicken broth

2 Tablespoons of cornstarch diluted in a Tablespoon of water

Heat broth until bubbly; add cornstarch mixture and stir like one crazy cat.  Add cracked pepper if desired OR golden brown chopped onion & mushrooms that have been cooked in buttery, no calorie cooking spray.  

You can enjoy the entire batch of gravy for about the same number of calories as contained in that "undiet friendly" 1 Tablespoon of gravy.
