Thanksgiving and other Special DaysI decided that I would take a moment and compile a few ideas from both here and other groups I’m a part of for dealing with Thanksgiving and other special days. One thing that I try to keep in mind is that learning how to handle these days is part of the fitness journey.
Eat at Maintenance Calories
One thing that I have noticed is that many people have an all or nothing attitude about their way of eating. It’s either they’re on track and eating at a deficit or they are overeating. However, eating at maintenance, or even a little under can be useful in keeping from a binge. Plan out what you can have within your maintenance calorie level and eat at your normal deficit the other days of the week. You might still have a gain, but it should be less than if you have an all out binge.
Bank Calories:
Some people I know bank calories. To do this they eat under their usual deficit for a few days to up to a week before and sometimes even after the special event. They then don’t worry about calories or they will eat at maintenance on the special day. The idea is that weight loss is based off a weekly deficit and the day to day doesn’t matter as much. The one issue with this is that you can wipe out an entire week’s deficit by one day of binge. This can lead to a gain.
Drink Water
Another suggestion I saw was to drink water before and if possible during an event. The theory is that you are less hungry and therefore will eat less.
Eat First
If you have a party where you can’t plan out your food have a snack/salad/soup a short time before your party. The theory is that you won’t want to eat as much and won’t binge.
Nibble
Have a little of everything you want, but only a little. The theory is that you won’t eat enough to go over your calories. I would imagine that goes well with the next suggestion.
OMAD
The day of your event only eat at the event and at no other point that day. The theory is that there is no way you’ll eat more than your maintenance calories.
Eat Less Early in the Day
Don’t want to OMAD? Then eat light the rest of the day giving you more calories for your special event.
Exercise More
Get in more exercise or activity on the day of your event because you’ll be able to eat more calories. With this one keep in mind that calorie trackers for exercise are notoriously high so be careful when using this method.
Think Gross Thoughts
I really didn’t know the label to put on this tip, but someone suggested that you imagine that someone has spit on all the food. It’s supposed to make you less likely to eat the foods you want to avoid.
I think I got all of them, if you have a tip let me know and I’ll add it to the list for the next holiday!
