General healthy eating tips for parties:⁣

  • Consider tracking and eating smaller portions up to the party to make room for fun⁣

  • Stick to lean proteins and veggies leading up to the party⁣

  • Engage in the socializing more than the food/snack table⁣

  • Be mindful of the portions you eat at the party and stop eating when satisfied⁣

  • Moderate alcohol and use mixers like club soda or a @zevia instead of juice or sugary sodas⁣

  • Drink plenty of water during the party and in between alcoholic beverages to minimize overeating and hangovers :)⁣


Most importantly, go have fun, don’t get caught up in food guilt, and just get back on track the very next opportunity.⁣
