Pass too much fat and calories. I prefer to splurge on other goodies.Found this online...Some brands cram as many as 440 calories into an 8-ounce cup, making even those of us who love eggnog think twice before sipping. To put that into perspective, three glasses of wine, eight Oreo cookies, 17 silver bells (Hershey’s Kisses), or a 10-ounce filet contain the same number of calories.And a single cup of the thick concoction of milk, cream, sugar and egg yolks can pack in the sugar equivalent of nearly 15 packets, and more saturated fat than a Big Mac.
@monyhoney: yeah I found a recipe- calls for cream, whole milk, egg yolk and sugar- one serving is 500 calories ( without the booze).
We’re doing modified Paleo here- cut out most sugar ( still have to have my dark choc) and most grains ( I still like a sandwich with one slice of whole grain bread some days).
So we’re eating more protein and fat- hubs is down 20lbs( and off his stomach meds) and I’m down 10. SOOOO when I saw this recipe I said Nope. 😢
