But you don’t have to break out the expandable waist pants on Thanksgiving by swapping out a few calorie-laden dishes with healthier ones and changing a few Thanksgiving day habits.
Check out the infographic below for how you can make this Thanksgiving a healthier one.
Thanksgivings Healthier Food Options:
