- You can minimize your calories, and still enjoy holiday treats by planning ahead.
- If you know you are going to a holiday party, don’t “save” calories as this will only lead to hunger and overeating. Instead, add exercise to your day and “earn” a few extra calories to consume without overeating.
- Stay away from the starchy foods and go for the fruits and veggies to pack some low-calorie nutrition into your holiday fun.
- Don’t forget that alcohol and sodas have calories too. Choose lower calorie mixers and drinks to keep from packing on extra pounds. Remember, it takes only 3.500 calories in a day to gain one pound! 1 cube cheese = 100 calories, 7 crackers = 100 calories, 8 tortilla chips = 100 calories, ½ glass of soda = 75 calories, 2 tablespoons of dip = 50 calories, (1) 2” sq. brownie = 125 calories, a handful of nuts = 150 calories, a handful of chips = 100 calories, and fruity alcoholic drinks may contain as many as 350 calories per drink.
