Monday Tip: Holiday Party Game Plan
Happy Monday everyone! There's no denying that the holidays have arrived.
Lights have been strung, gifts are being wrapped and holiday treats are everywhere.
Here is a little holiday party game plan to help when it comes to your nutrition!
This is what you would eat...
As many fresh and fiber-filled vegetables as you want.
• Load up on salads.
• Enjoy vegetable side dishes.
• Just no starchy vegetables like potato or corn.
Lots of lean, protein-filled meats and eggs.
• Stick with meat that has been roasted, barbequed, or baked.
• Avoid fried meats and eggs.
Fruits, nuts and seeds in moderation
• Fresh fruit for a delicious dessert.
• A handful of nuts or seeds for a snack.
• Don't eat sugar-added fruits, nuts or seeds.
Then enjoy some small exceptions...
• Bread or grain product: No larger than the size of your hand.
• Starchy vegetables: Half of a cup.
• Baked goods: Should fit into the palm of your hand.
• Candies or confections: The smaller the better.
• Holiday drinks: 8 ounces.
When you navigate the buffet line at your next holiday party, feel confident knowing that you have a game plan. Stick with vegetables and meats first, then pick out your 2 small exceptions and enjoy those!
