Thanksgiving is officially here and most of us look forward to this day because we get to have dishes that we only have once a year. We’re delighted to spend the day with our loved ones, but lets face it, we’re there mostly for the food! It’s really hard to keep track of what we eat when everything looks so delicious and mom and your tia and your cousin are convincing you to try this and that. How do you keep track of everything you eat when you’re trying to lose weight?

As you can see these are just a few of the high-calorie foods you will be enjoying on Thanksgiving, so make sure you plan wisely. Healthier options would be a slice skinless turkey breast at 300 calories or green bean casserole at 200 calories. Don’t forget about the drinks either, because many drinks like spiked apple cider, which is very popular around Thanksgiving can have 300 calories in just one cup.
Make sure you are conscious about what you are eating and choose wisely.
