I love and crave salty foods, so I'm careful not to consume more than the daily recommended intake for sodium. Prevent consuming too much salt by expanding your focus when you're scanning nutritional labels for fat and calorie content to the rest of the finely printed information. Take the quiz to test your sodium knowledge, and keep in mind that many healthy foods contain a ton of sodium.

In a pinch, I'm a big fan of frozen meals from Amy's Kitchen, and I particularly like the "bowls." I always keep a few in my freezer just in case I don't have time to make lunch. While the Country Cheddar Bowl is my favorite, I also like the Stuffed Pasta Shells.

T-Day minus one and counting! I have even quizzed you on the typical caloric load of the meal. But what happens after the food leaves your mouth?

Of course we're going to enjoy the traditional treats on Thanksgiving, indulging in a piece of pumpkin pie and savoring our family's special stuffing. Selecting one piece of pie and refraining from returning for a second helping of that stuffing is the way to walk away from the meal without guilt. Subsisting on Thanksgiving leftovers for the week that follows is what causes the holiday pounds, so prevent holiday-related weight gain by ditching the high-calorie culprits.

Introducing large quantities of rich "people food" into a pet's diet on Thanksgiving is bad for their tummies! In fact, some typical holiday fare should never be fed to pets. One sure way to be certain no one slips up is to place the appropriate portion of your furry friend's normal snacks in a convenient location.
