FACT: It has been reported the average person gains 5-10 pounds between Halloween and the New Year.
YOU ARE NOT AVERAGE.
Here are Mizzou Sports Nutrition's 3 favorite tips to stay healthy over the Thanksgiving holiday:
1. Don't forget to eat breakfast! Sleeping in is great.. until you get back to school Monday morning. Wake up at a reasonable time and grab a small healthy breakfast to give you more control over your appetite for the rest of the day.
2. Spend lots of time, not calories, with friends and family! Going back home means meeting up with old friends - don't get carried away with pizza and beer so soon before Turkey Day. Also, stay active! Take a walk with your family or play football.
3. Save your seconds for day 2! Leftovers taste good, if not better on the next day. Hold off on busting your belt; maybe mom will let you bring some food back to Columbia!
