Looking for ways not to overeat or eat too many calories at the holiday feast? If so, try out these tips:

  1. Don’t eat the skin on the turkey - it’s full of fat.
  2. Skip the gravy - instead stir together a can of reduced-sodium chicken broth and a spoonful of flour, then thicken on the range top.
  3. Up the fiber in your stuff by using whole grains.
  4. Moisten the stuffing with reduced-sodium chicken broth instead of butter.
  5. Mash your potatoes with the peel on for a little extra fiber
  6. Top your potatoes with plain yogurt instead of butter or sour cream.
  7. Top your sweet potatoes with a little thickened apple cider instead of marshmallows.
  8. Steam or stir-fry green beans and onions in a wok or skillet instead of making green bean casserole.
  9. For your bread, use whole grain instead of white.
  10. Use olive oil  instead of butter for your breads.
