Holiday time means food, family, and fun—with an extra emphasis on the food. No matter your diet and eating habits, choosing wisely during your Thanksgiving feast can help you shed pounds this season.
Follow this list of healthier food choices to save calories when that turkey hits the table. And, like all most things in life, remember to enjoy your Thanksgiving goodies in moderation.
The Main Event: When it comes to the main course, choose white meat. The lean turkey breast offers delicious flavors and tenderness and 215 less calories than dark meat.
On the Side: In place of stuffing, choose roasted potatoes. They give you a hearty fill with 235 less calories than stuffing. For your veggies, opt for something like succotash instead of creamed corn and roasted butternut squash instead of candied yams and you save 440 calories alone.
Sweet Finish: When desert hits the table, avoid the pecan pie and head straight to the pumpkin pie with a whipped cream. Trading out gluey pecan pie for pumpkin saves you 339 calories per slice, even with the whipped cream.
