Honestly a baked chicken is my absolute favorite

Seafood

Alright now that you have those great sources lets talk about some tips to stay on track through this Thanksgiving.

1. Prioritize Your Main Dish: Protein-Packed Meats

• Choose your Meat Source: its very important to build your meal around your Protein source

• Don’t Forget Portion Size: 1/3 to 1/2 of your plate should always be filled with your protein source!

2. Snack on High Protein Appetizers

• Deviled Eggs

• Shrimp Cocktail

• Turkey Rollups

• Charcuterie Boards

3. Get some steps in!

• I highly recommend going on a 20-30 minutes walk before and after your thanksgiving meal. It will also help with that digestion of all of that food you ate haha

Now lastly, it all comes down to how you structure your plate

I hope this helps!

Remember one “Bad” day doesn’t cause you to regain all of the weight you lost. It’s when you let that one Bad day continue daily through the holidays.

So get right back on track the next day and don’t beat yourself up because you enjoyed yourself!
