Thanksgiving is a holiday often centered on eating, and with that can come nutritional challenges and lots of ways to fall into bad habits. The Nutrition Team at Manet has devised some ways to help you curb bad habits and survive this Thanksgiving with your diet (relatively) intact.

Remember to savor each bite and enjoy!
