7. Trim the Turkey

Turkey is a staple at most holiday get-togethers. With a few simple tricks, you can pile your plate with protein without piling on the calories. Bake turkey on a rack inside your roasting pan. Drain any excess fat before serving. When it comes time to fill your plate, pass on the dark meat. It has more saturated fat than white meat. Skimp on the skin to curb calories and fat.

8. Bake Green Bean Casserole

This classic holiday dish doesn't have to be a diet doozy. Here is secret for slimming it down. Just simplify your cooking.Combine canned green beans with low-sodium/low-fat cream of mushroom soup and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grease your baking dish with cooking spray. Bake for 30 minutes and then top with toasted almonds and bake 15 minutes more. This finishing touch offers fewer calories than the traditional fried onion topper — plus nutrients such as vitamin E, protein, fibre, potassium and calcium.

9. Make More Sensible Stuffing

Revamp your recipe by substituting margarine for butter and low-fat chicken broth for chicken stock. Ditch the giblets and replace with lean meats and dried fruit, such as raisins. Cut fat content by cooking your stuffing in a casserole dish instead of inside your turkey.

10. Bake a Lighter Pumpkin Pie

Pumpkin is rich in nutrients, such as vitamins A and C, beta-carotene, and potassium. Enjoy this classic holiday dessert without the waistline worries by updating your ingredient list. Swap in evaporated skim milk for whole milk, egg whites in place of whole eggs and a low-fat graham cracker crust instead of traditional piecrust. Top your treat with fat-free whipped cream and savour every delicious bite.

11. Eat healthy breakfast every day

When you eat breakfast, you won’t feel the urge to grab a high fat, mid-morning snack, such as a doughnut, croissant or fast food muffin. Eating a balanced breakfast can also decrease the amount of food you eat later in the day. Try a bowl of high fibre cereal (at least 4 grams fibre per serving), with skim or 1% milk and a piece of fruit or glass of pure fruit juice. If you have to eat on the run make a fruit and yogurt smoothie or have a whole grain bagel with peanut or almond butter and a banana
