Here is some basic nutritional information about a holiday dinner and how to make up for it afterward or simply make different choices:

• Turkey – service size 6 oz., 340 calories – 35 minutes on the treadmill or 56 minutes on the elliptical
• Stuffing – service size ½ cup, 180 calories – 18 minutes on the treadmill or 30 minutes on the elliptical
• Mashed potatoes – serving size ½ cup, 150 calories – 15 minutes on the treadmill or 25 minutes on the elliptical

It’s difficult to stay on your diet and maintain fitness when you’re constantly hungry.
Here are a few reasons why you always reach for food:

• You drink too much alcohol
• Not getting enough sleep
• Skipping meals and not eating every 3-4 hours
• Eating too fast
• Impulse buying snacks
• Too much diet soda
• Work-related stress
