It is one meal and one day — and it does not undo your results. If you’ve been with me long enough, you know the motto: memories over macros.Here’s exactly how I handle Thanksgiving without gaining weight:• Get movement in first thing—after the turkey goes in the oven. Do a turkey trot, your own unofficial 5K, or simply a walk or lift. • Delay breakfast and skip the mindless morning treats (or take a bite and move on). I make a huge egg white omelet with veggies and leftover protein like shrimp, turkey meatballs, or Canadian bacon. • Never show up starving. Eat a protein-rich snack beforehand. • Bring a veggie tray with Greek yogurt ranch dip to avoid grazing. • Lighten up wine with Fresca or choose a mocktail. • Sit when you eat—no grazing at the appetizer table. • Use the one plate rule and only take what you actually enjoy. • Stop at “enough,” not “stuffed.” • Eat your plate in order: turkey first, veggies second, fun foods last. • Pre-track your priority (dessert, stuffing, wine—pick ONE). • Release the “once a year” mentality. You can make these foods anytime. • Leftovers: keep turkey and mashed potatoes for Clubhouse recipes. Send everything else home with Uncle Louie or freeze/donate it. • Remember: it’s a holiday, not a holiweek or holimonth. Get right back to normal Friday. • After dinner, walk with your kids or cousin Beth instead of crashing on the couch. • Pack your macro-friendly diaper bag for Black Friday.You can enjoy the holiday, honor your goals, and feel proud — without dieting, restricting, or going into all-or-nothing mode.If this helped you, hit like and subscribe.Join Kelly's FREE FB Grouphttps://www.facebook.com/groups/261664978956576Follow Kelly On Instagram https://www.instagram.com/kellykounts_macros/Apply To Work With Kelly 1:1https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1LxbA84G5fUGOp0feSU8jbkgc2lRoXEOqv5hBZHOERAw/editVisit Kelly's Websitehttps://www.kellykountsmacros.com/
