Nope, we went out for dinner (yeah no cooking!!) and had some turkey, mashed potatoes and string beans. No desert, bread or alcohol or dishes to wash. Perfect day.1

I changed my goal to maintenance for today and ran on the treadmill for 40 minutes to earn some exercise calories. I went light on breakfast and then ate thanksgiving dinner with my family around 1. I ate what I wanted and logged afterward. 1230 calories in one meal!! Ouch. But I still have calories left for dinner and I'll get back to it tomorrow.0

I ate what I wanted and didnt log a thing today. Ejoyed every bite. Will eat more later. No shame. It's only one day. Back to normal tomorrow.4

I've ate so much for today, I wouldn't be able to eat a bite for the rest of the week if I lost weight this week.1

My thanksgiving meal was 1150 calories. This was at 3 pm, so no dinner for me. Ill still maintain my 1700 goal.2

No ... I'll eat what I eat every day. Why would I eat a lot today?2 -
I stayed mindful and kept to my plant based regime, at least having a massive raw salad first. I tasted the holiday ham and decadent potato salad. Two white dinner rolls was as cray cray as I got. I got in under 600. and everyone took their desserts home.0

Because it's a day full of family get togethers and extravagant food for many people in the States. I ate stuff today that I only have once a year-family dishes, fancy desserts etc. A lot of people also don't work tomorrow and it's a long weekend, so many are able to drink higher amounts of alcohol today.
eta: looks like you're in Australia, so yeah probably does not apply to you0 -
I am FULL! But so far I have only eaten 2382 calories, and I still have 587 left to eat and still be in calorie goals! It helps that I made 2 no-sugar pies for today, so theres a lot of calories gone. Then I ran 7 miles this morning which gave me a lot more calories to fill up. Going to have another slice of pie here in a little bit and be happy doing it!0

For many-yes but not for all. I live in NY, irks me to no end when people act like my family is a bunch of aliens for not celebrating Thanksgiving. Just because we live here, doesn't mean we share the exact same culture.0 -
Apparently not. Today is not an eating day.
1) Woke up not hungry - bad sign.
2) Ran 14km + 1mile cool down. Running like that always kills my appetite dead for a few hours.
3) I made all the food myself, so I know I ate around 1200-1300 cals so far.
4) That was 5.5 hours ago and I still am not hungry and the thought of eating anything really rich makes my stomach turn. Who am I that I can hardly eat anymore?
5) I will try to eat some of this calorie dense cobbler here in a few. I'd like to hit 2500 for the day because I am deep in the calorie hole for the week so far in prep for today (lol...) and I am not really looking to lose weight. I also have a bunch of energy atm (I feel seriously in the mood to run again after a nap) so I think I may run another 14-15km tomorrow morning. Will kill the energy problem, but not the calorie one. Tomorrow seems like Groundhog Day at the moment. We'll see.0 -
I went over in calories due to Thanksgiving dinner. I ate everything I wanted including Key Lime pie (I do think I overestimated in logging). We only do this particular restaurant (they have a buffet on thanksgiving) once a year. Kindof pricey but I don't have to cook or clean up, plus everyone gets everything they want.0

Well I'm a Canadian and thanks giving or not I'll be eating 4000 calories by 10pm tonight5

Went down two pounds so I hope today didn't demolish what I lost.
Barbecued Salmon
Green Salad with cherry tomatoes and garbanzo beans, Balsamic vinaigrette.
One slice French Bread with whipped cream cheese.
One 3" slice Apple Pie, low sugar.0 -
I hit 4,000 cals!1

Yes, I will eat a lot today and I won't feel guilty about it either. In fact, I've already eaten a lot and I'm now thinking of having another snack. Enough of watching every morsel I eat. Today I RULE! Tomorrow however, is another day. I'll pick up my calorie watching again tomorrow.1

I ate about 4,000 today, but I also logged 15 miles in running and walking before dinner. The pecan pie was by far the highest calorie, and the most delicious.0
