  2. Remember your Fruits and Vegetables • While the holidays are a great time for turkey, ham, or other meat products, it is also a great time to incorporate fruits and vegetables. • The holidays mean heavy traveling, so it might be more difficult to get all the fruits and vegetables we need. • There are some tips to help during travel or down time to increase that intake.

  3. Remember your Fruits and Vegetables TIPS: • Pack raw fruits or vegetables such as broccoli, carrots, apples, or bananas. • Snack on hummus and vegetables on whole-wheat bread or crackers. • Make lettuce wraps filled with black beans, peppers, and onions. • Fill a thermos with tomato or vegetable soup.

  4. Holiday Treats! • The holidays are also a great time for treats! • On average, Americans gain one or two pounds during the holiday season. • Do not begin to skip meals throughout the day, this may result in overeating. • Include high-fiber foods for snacks. • Include a small portion of your favorite holiday treat, but don’t overindulge.

  5. Holiday Treats! • Treats are everywhere during the holidays. You can enjoy them and limit fat consumption at the same time. • Try substituting traditional baking ingredients with healthier options to help lower trans fat intake. • Go easy on foods containing hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils. • Switch to trans-fat free margarines. • Add raisins or toasted nuts to cake and cookies instead of chocolate chips.

  6. Overall Tips for Holiday Eating • Do not skip meals, especially breakfast! • Bring your own healthy dish to a holiday feast. • Use a smaller plate. • Start the meal by filling your plate with vegetables and salad. • Eat slowly, savor each bite! • Before you go back for seconds, take 10 minutes to see if you are truly still hungry. • After dinner, get some physical activity.
