Those of you who plan to eat yourselves into a food coma this Thanksgiving aren't alone.

As our second favorite holiday nears, Insider.com tallied how much food we'll pack away on November 28 (and the days following).

1. Let's start with the turkey. According to the U.S. Poultry and Egg Association, we'll eat about 46 million turkeys on Thanksgiving. That's roughly one turkey for every person in Spain. And with the average turkey weighing 30 pounds, Americans will consume nearly 1.4 billion pounds of bird.

2. All that food means all those calories. Calorie Control Council estimates we'll each eat about 4,500 calories on turkey day. The New York Times said it's much less 2,500 but stilll about a full days' calories in one meal.

3. About 40% of Campbell's cream of mushroom soup yearly sales will be next week, so we can make green bean casserole.
4. It might be Americans' least favorite side dish, but we'll still eat about 80 million pounds of cranberries, including 5,062,500 gallons of canned, jellied cranberry sauce, according to the Agricultural Marketing Resource Center.
