Thanksgiving Survival Guide: Balance, Flavor, and Fun
Tips to Stay on Track During Thanksgiving Weekend
Thanksgiving weekend is a time for celebration, gratitude, and indulgent food. But it’s possible to enjoy all the holiday has to offer while staying on track with your health goals. Here are some tips and tricks to help you strike the perfect balance:
1. Plan Ahead
Whether hosting or attending, plan your meals to include a mix of indulgent favorites and lighter options like roasted vegetables and lean proteins. If you’re a ReBuilt Meals subscriber, having meals prepped in your fridge ensures you can stick to nutritious choices when you’re not indulging in the Thanksgiving feast.
2. Stay Active
Kick off Thanksgiving morning with movement—take a brisk walk, join a turkey trot, or hit the gym. Staying active boosts energy and sets the tone for the day. Over the weekend, plan fun, active family activities like a hike or a post-dinner stroll to keep yourself moving.
3. Mind Your Portions
With so many tempting dishes, it’s easy to overdo it. Use smaller plates, serve yourself smaller portions, and prioritize your absolute favorites. Eating slowly and savoring each bite will help you feel satisfied without overindulging.
4. Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate
Staying hydrated is key, especially when rich holiday foods are involved. Drinking water before and during meals can help control hunger and support digestion.
5. Make the Most of Leftovers
Thanksgiving leftovers don’t have to derail you. Use them to create balanced meals, like turkey and veggie soup or lean protein-packed salads. If you have ReBuilt Meals on hand, alternate between leftovers and prepared meals to avoid overloading on holiday food.
