Well it is here & we all know that it is time to grub regardless of our clean diet! But how can we make healthier choices at the table for ourselves & family? Easy-easy-easy! Minimize your intake of food that are high in sugars and fats.
Our turkey is a great source of lean protein, our sweet potato & green beans ( or other steamed veggies) are a great way to get those carbs in without sacrificing taste, have some
cranberry sauce (homemade with no/low sugar), cranberries are considered a "superfood" & a good way to get in antioxidants (strengthen our immune system) & PACs (help to keep harmful bacteria out of the body) .
Pay attention to super sodium packed items like your packaged sauces & mixes, bouillon cubes, brothes, etc. We can pack on some fluff weight quickly having too much of this on the table.
Alcohol would be great to avoid, but reality is so spontaneous that if you get bit by it try to limit it to a few drinks or less! We will work it off later!
Pecan Pies, Pumpkin Pies, Protein Pie...nevermind, the pies are not where we want to spend all our calories. If it is then steer clear of the rolls & white potatoes & other empty carbs. Its not the best idea to take in your carbs as desert but if you are doing it anyway... :)
Try to limit your sugary & salty & creamy treats!
Don't just go to town on everything, try to enjoy the food & have a good PCF ratio on our plates each time we fill them. Don't skip breakfast or any other meal prepping for the "Johnson Stuffin' Turducken Event 08'", do not skip meals!!!
HAPPY TURKEY DAY!
PCF Ratio on your plate!
