Hungry Girl is here to help you survive Thanksgiving, the "foodiest" day of the year!

Swap Meat

There's a reason Thanksgiving is called "Turkey Day." Ninety-two percent of Americans gobble up turkey on the holiday each year. Make your four-ounce helping of turkey white meat and skinless, and you'll be taking in just 150 calories. Eat the same amount of dark meat with skin and you'll be swallowing approximately 100 more calories (and more fat and cholesterol). Make the switch and save your calories for dessert.

Silence of the Yams

Sure, sweet potatoes are vegetables. But even veggies can wreck a diet when they're smothered in butter, cream and sugar, then suffocated by marshmallows! A typical serving of the too-sweet side dish contains about 300 calories. Instead, bake up a small sweet potato and enjoy that. It's loaded with vitamins A and C, as well as calcium and iron. It's also low in sodium and a good source of fiber.

Bean There, Done That

That green bean casserole may be more dangerous than you think. It's usually packed with calories and fat, from all that creamy soup and those insane fried onions. Swap out your creamed soups with low-fat or fat-free versions, and instead of those fatty, fried, canned onion rings, use crushed Crispy Delites Red Onion Veggie Chips (HealthyDelite.com). Your casserole will be much lower in fat and calories, and it'll taste just as good.
