Is the whole family coming over to your house for dinner. Are they craving you potatoes or homemade stuffing? We all know part of making a great meal is alot of work and part of it involves "taste testing". That is something you want to avoid, as hard as it will be. You can consume a lot of undocumented (if you have a food journal) calories that way. I understand that you want to make sure it has the right amount of spices or the right texture, but it can and will result in extra pounds.
Since John-Fat to Fit will be cooking Christmas dinner..Here are some tips on how to avoid taste testing.
- Sugar free gum is your friend, chew it!
- Use a 1/4 teaspoon if HAVE to taste test your food.
- Try to only fix what you are going to eat, leaving yourself no chance for seconds.
- If you have prepared more food than you need, portion it into individual containers and freeze or refrigerate immediately.
- Don't snack while cooking meals
