\"National<\/a>Each year, IHOP celebrates National Pancake Day by giving away free short stacks in exchange for asking customers to make a donation to Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. The event is usually held on Mardi Gras<\/a><\/strong> (also known as Fat Tuesday or Shrove Day), but this year the IHOP’s National Pancake Day will be a week earlier, on March 1st.<\/p>\n

This event certainly has good intentions, but we have to remind you that a IHOP’s short stack of three original buttermilk pancakes contains 490 calories, and that’s before you add the butter and syrup. However, we have a few suggestions to help you enjoy the occasion without having a total calorie-fest. After all, you might want to save that for actual Mardi Gras, right?<\/p>\n

So, if you plan on going to IHOP tomorrow, consider bringing an friend or family member and splitting those pancakes. Go light on the butter and syrup, and consider getting a side of seasonal fruit, which is only 80 calories and will boost the nutritional value of your meal.<\/p>\n

You could also skip the temptation, make some healthy pancakes at home and donate directly to the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
