Here are ten tips for healthy eating at a holiday party:

1. Plan ahead: Before attending the party, make a plan on what types of foods and drinks you want to indulge in and what you want to avoid.

2. Fill up on veggies: Start your meal by filling your plate with vegetables. They are low in calories and high in nutrients, which can help you feel full and satisfied.

3. Watch portion sizes: Be mindful of portion sizes and avoid going back for seconds. Use smaller plates and utensils to help control your portions.

4. Choose lean proteins: Opt for lean protein sources like grilled chicken, turkey, or fish. Protein can help keep you feeling full and satisfied.

5. Limit sugary drinks: Avoid sugary cocktails and opt for healthier drink options like sparkling water with a splash of fruit juice or infused water.

6. Be mindful of dressings and sauces: Dressings and sauces can add extra calories and fats to your meal. Opt for lighter options or ask for them on the side.

7. Pace yourself: Eat slowly and savor each bite. This can help you feel more satisfied and prevent overeating.

8. Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the party. It can help you feel full and prevent excessive snacking.

9. Choose healthier dessert options: Instead of indulging in high-calorie desserts, opt for healthier options like fruit salad or a small portion of dark chocolate.

10. Focus on enjoyment: Remember that the holiday party is about enjoying the company of others. Focus on socializing and having fun rather than solely on the food.

I hope these tips help you make healthier choices at your next holiday party!
