While Thanksgiving isn't just about the food, it's certainly a big part of the celebration. TODAY nutritionist Joy Bauer shared some advice for staying healthy on turkey day: Follow her "rule of one." Before the big meal, stick to just trying one of each of the hors d'oeuvres being served.
At Thanksgiving dinner, fill one dinner plate with whatever looks the most yummy, keeping in mind that smaller portions allow you to sample more sides. When drinking, have plenty of water and stick to one alcoholic drink throughout the meal. And for dessert? Pick one of your favorite sweet treats (or a sliver of two, if you really can't decide!). If you're torn between pumpkin, apple or pecan pie, choose pumpkin because it's usually one of the lightest and less caloric Thanksgiving desserts. |
