So what is your 4th of July food strategy?

I'm loads of fun. I just don't get manufactured holidays that celebrate a history of violence and repression, that's all. I love All Hallow's Eve and my birthday, my hubby's birthday, etc. I just don't give two craps about "f-yeah USA" nonsense.Adults actually celebrate the 4th of July? I have never understood that. It's such a useless holiday. I won't be going anywhere or doing anything so I'm not worried about it.
You sound fun. :flowerforyou:
July 4th is in no way a manufactured holiday. It's the anniversary of the day Congress approved the Declaration of Independence.
Totally manufactured, Hallmark didn't create congress, or a mascot, ergo, it's manufactured and fake.0 -

Also, how about a little respect for the troops that fight hard to protect our "useless" independence.
Too much merica f yeah, donchaknow.
Makes me sick to read crap like this when people put their lives on the line every single day for us.
The beauty is, those that fight and those that die did it expressly so that these chuckleheads could safely make those comments.
If anything, in a perverse way, it's a celebration of liberty.0 -
My 4th of July Food Strategy is the same as my every-other-day-food strategy. Call me boring and monotonous but I have found that using weekends or holidays as an excuse to deviate from my health goals has never worked out well for me in the past, so I choose not to do it moving forward.
For me, the 4th of July will be a social event with food, not a food event with people.0 -

Ain't that the truth!0 -
My thoughts are that I will more than likely blow it over the 4th, but just because I do is no reason to quit. I will get back after it on the 6th or 7th and in the end it will make no difference at all, it will just be a temporary set back.0

This was great!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:0 -
I won't be logging at all for the weekend, I'm going to eat way too much fried food, more hotdogs that I can count too!! It's going to be awesome!
my strategy is to start early and graze all day.
protein macro will be met/exceeded.
fat macro will be exceeded.
carb macro will also be exceeded.
But will your alcohol macro be exceeded?
Thank goodness.0 -

6th or 7th, you sir, I like your buffer!

I'm gonna eat and drink everything I want. Gotta have cheat days, and if you can't let loose once in awhile, whats the point?
Getting healthy isnt about swearing off all the food you love. Its about moderation and making your body healthy and happy. Pigging out on a holiday or getting drunk isnt going to stop your health goals, though it may delay them somewhat.0 -

With 4th of July around the corner, what is your strategy to stay on target with calories?
-Im going to walk/run a half marathon before heading to the lake with my fiances family so I know I will have a few calories to "bank" since my fueling and after run only uses about half of what I will burn.
- bringing some fresh veggies to munch on and will sit away from the snack table (I LOVE CHIPS)
- Just sticking to water, some one has to drive home!
- Will not use a bun with my brat or hamburger (depending on what I decide to eat)
- Will not go back for more- one plate rule and it will not be stacked
- If I do go over my daily goal in calories I wont freak out but will just be better the next day!
So what are you planning to do?
Pretty much the same! Moderation is key. Deprivation no way! I am also considering getting everyone to run a holiday 5K with me that morning to bank some calorie space!

I have to work. I will eat when I get home but do enough exercise earlier that day to make up for it.0

Did you know that July 4th is Independence Day in the Philippines and Rwanda? I call B.S. We should not have to share our official emancipation from the crushing rule of the Kingdom of Great Britain with Rwanda. For the love of gravy, Rwanda bans PLASTIC BAGS in their country! What sort of sadistic heathens would ban plastic bags?? It’s like they WANT cheese to dry up and get all nastified instead of protected by a priceless Ziploc, and that’s just messed up.
Did you know that July 2nd is truly the day we should be celebrating our Independence? Not only is it the day the Declaration of Independence was ruled into favor by the Continental Congress, but John Adams even wrote his dear wife, Abigail, to tell her that “July 2nd is a day that will go down in history.” I mean… the man WROTE HIS WIFE back in 1776! He not only acknowledged her existence, but wrote her… Hell, I bet he even let her out of the kitchen every now and then. If that’s not proof enough that this was a historic occasion, I don’t know what is.
Did you know that July 4th was officially declared a holiday in 1870, nearly one hundred years after the Declaration of Independence was written? And 2014 marks the 238th Independence Day Celebration?
Did you know that 2.5 million people celebrated the first Independence Day, whereas nearly 316.5 million people do today? BOOM! That’s math, b******.
Did you know that both Thomas Jefferson and John Adams, founder of our Independence, died on July 4th 1826? Alanis Morissette totally dropped the ball on that one when she went nuts singing about Irony. Probably because she’s a dirty Canadian.
Did you know that “Ugly Betty’s” Becki Newton, First Daughter Malia Obama, Economist Gerard Debreu, and Olympic Medalist Pam Shriver were all born on July 4th? Yup… all people no one cares about. Awesome.
Did you know that July Fourth is technically the “Biggest Hot Dog Holiday of the Year?” Americans (not Rwandans) consume roughly 155 million on this one day alone. The biggest irony here is that absolutely no one knows the actual origins of the hot dog. I have long suspected Fiji, but hell, maybe it’s Rwanda. In any event, in 1776, John Adams and his wife celebrated by indulging in Turtle Soup, Poached Salmon with Egg Sauce, Green Peas & Boiled Potatoes in Jackets. YES. Potatoes. In. Jackets. Safe to assume that’s what I’ll be making next Friday.
Did you know that I’m never gonna give you up? Let you down? Turn around and forget you?
Did you know that your *kitten* just got Rick Rolled?
Now, if you can't find a single reason to celebrate Independence Day... GTFO.0 -

I will be in Tampa riding jet skis and playing in boats (after spending a couple days at Disneyworld) then probably eating yummy food and watching fireworks with lovely friends, my fiance and his daughter.
But you enjoy being alone and doing nothing. I guess you're better than I am.0 -
