Caloric Budgeting
This is the hard one. This means that your body only needs a certain amount of energy
from food to complete its metabolic functions and fuel exercise. Once you meet that
energy requirement, you begin to store any extra food as fat. There are several ways
you can reduce your caloric intake during the holidays, and none of them mean that
you cant enjoy yourself!
Meal Timing
Although its hard to break tradition, consider dividing your Thanksgiving feast into
small courses served throughout the day. This will not only prevent you from overeating and give you sustained nutrient intake, but it will make your festivities last all day
long! You can do a special breakfast, traditional lunch, and a light and lean dinner, with
protein-based hors doeuvres between meals. If that just isnt an option for you and
your family, there is another solution! You can have a scoop of whey protein 20 minutes
before your meal. This will increase satiety and help curb your hunger so that you dont
overeat.
Intermittent Fasting
Intermittent fasting is a dieting technique that allows you to meet your caloric requirements for the day and still enjoy one, large traditional holiday feast. The strategy here
is to fast throughout the day and save all or the majority of your calories for dinner.
Get up in the morning and have a cup of black coffee or tea. You can choose to drink a
serving of an amino acid supplement as well. Carry on with your day as usual without
eating. Ideally, you will get in a workout in the late afternoon and then use your dinner
as your post-workout recovery meal.
