We hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving last week! By now, your leftovers are probably all gone and you’re ready to get back on track towards your nutrition goals.
Many patients continued to log their meals during the holiday weekend, which is great news! It’s important to keep track of your nutrition, even during special events, to keep the habit strong.
We compiled all the Thanksgiving foods that Prescribe FIT patients logged during the holiday weekend and ranked the top 5 below. See how your meal compared with the rest!
1) Turkey
Of course, you can’t have Thanksgiving dinner without the turkey! That makes the dish number one on our list with 84% of patients logging it.
2) Potatoes
Whether mashed, baked, fried, or scalloped, potatoes were the second most popular dish over Thanksgiving weekend with 65% of patients having them.
3) Green beans
Another Thanksgiving staple, 48% of patients logged green beans in their nutrition tracker during the holiday, including green bean casserole!
4) Ham
43% of our patients opted for Thanksgiving ham instead of (or in addition to) the turkey.
5) Pumpkin
Last but not least, 42% of patients treated themselves to a slice of pumpkin pie, pumpkin bread, or a pumpkin roll over Thanksgiving.
Congratulations on continuing to track your nutrition over Thanksgiving weekend! Don’t forget to keep up the habit and be sure to settle back into your routine of healthy eating going forward.
