 | | Thanksgiving Snacking TipsDon't fill up on turkey, folksBy Keith Shaw 11.27.2008 Tip #1: Make sure your Thanksgiving dinner starts after 3 p.m. I don't understand why some people would want to eat the big meal before 3. To me, the period from 11 a.m. and 3 p.m is best utilized for snacking and appetizers. Best snack to have pre-Thanksgiving dinner? I'd stick to the basics, potato chips. Tip #2: Sample, don't gorge! This can be a great tip for your Thanksgiving meal, as well. If offered a bowl of chips, don't eat all of them. Instead, grab a few, then wait for the peanuts, the cheese puffs and other pre-meal offerings. You won't fill yourself up too much for the meal, and you'll have some excellent snacks beforehand. Tip #3: Don't skip breakfast, or the opportunity for breakfast snacks! Some people starve themselves before the big meal, but I say don't worry about it. Use breakfast on Thanksgiving as a way to prepare for the bigger meal. Grab some cold Pop-Tarts or cold cereal (Cocoa Puffs are awesome), or cook yourself some cinnamon rolls as your breakfast. Don't starve yourself, but don't overstuff yourself either. Tip #4: On the way home from Grandma's house, stop at a 7-Eleven or other convenience store for a post-meal snack. I've never enjoyed the "turkey sandwiches, turkey soup or other turkey recipe" mentality that many family members preach after Thanksgiving Dinner. For me, the only time I eat turkey is at the meal. Post-meal, I'm stopping at the convenience store for a bag of chips and a post-meal Diet Coke for the drive home. I'm then ready for Black Friday and all of the holiday shopping madness (no turkey hangover for me). More Snacks
