Quick tips on nutrition during the holidays

Two easy, but maybe not simple ways to keep your eating on track during this holiday season.

1. Track your food. Use my fitness pal, cronometer, fitbit- any of these apps. Logging your food helps you stay accountable.

2. Use hand portions- 
These are some quick guides for “eyeballing” your portion sizes using your hand.
Thumb: 1 oz or 2 Tbsp (28-30 grams) – cheese, nuts, mayo, hummus, condiments
Palm of your hand: 3-4 oz (85 grams) – proteins like meat, poultry, and fish
Clenched fist: 1 cup (75 grams) – raw veggies & fruit
Front of your fist: About ½ cup (30 grams) – starchy carbs (pasta, rice, etc.) or cooked veggies
Tip of finger: About 1 tsp – fats, oils, sugars, salad dressing, etc.
