We eat light throughout the day so were not as hungry when it time for actually thanksgiving. I eat what i want. Youre not going to calorie count . No. Still, nutritionist janet little said there are a few things to cut back. First, if youre in the kitchen. Instead of sour cream, use yogurt. Nobody will know the difference. Cut back on the butter. When it comes to fresh versus canned. Buy fresh. You will save five tea spoons of sugar. How can you cut the calories once you sit down at the dining room table. Choose white meat over dark meat. That will save you half the fat. When it comes to gravy, people tend to go overboard. Pouring it over the entire meal. Most people have poured one cup of gravy can which can take you up to 300, 400 calories. Look for lower calorie drinks and dressings. When it comes to dessert, all pies are not created equal. You can choose a pumpkin pie over pecan pie. That will save you half the calories. The nutritionist says its not an idea to starve yourself before the meal. You end up eating more. Instead, try to have healthy snacks throughout the day. Im laughing because i think do people eat fruit on thanksgiving unless its in their apple pie. Any fruit or cut up vegetables .
