A Macro Friendly Thanksgiving

First off, my intention is NOT to restrict anyone's Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is a holiday where we celebrate what we are thankful for- not to focus on what we can not have.

Indulging in your favorite dishes this holiday will not completely sabotage your weightless goals, but life is full of options, and it doesn't hurt to have some "guilt free" options to choose from this Thanksgiving.
