Halloween is the perfect time to enjoy treats, dress up in costume, and celebrate with friends and neighbors. But we hear from clients all the time that Halloween is one of the hardest holidays to navigate– the candy seems to appear around Labor Day and stick around till Thanksgiving. So how can you enjoy the day without totally derailing your health progress?
We’re here to help! Today we’re breaking down healthy tips for enjoying halloween.
Pre-Plan Your Macros
If you’re tracking macronutrients, it’s always a good idea to do your best pre-planning macros around special occasions and holidays. Since carb and fat-heavy foods are usually prime party foods, fill up prior to the party with clean fats and lots of veggies. Leave plenty of room in your macros for a few Halloween treat!
Limit Alcohol
Alcohol is the fourth macronutrient, along with carbohydrates, fat, and protein. The main
difference between alcohol and the other macros is that alcohol is not essential. Because of this, food tracking apps don’t account for it, even though we need to! If tracking alcohol isn’t something you want to mess with over holidays like Halloween, limiting yourself to one alcoholic drink is a great way to enjoy the celebration without getting off track from reaching your goals.
