Thanksgiving Workouts & Smart Nutrition Tips

Feast without the guilt!

‍

Thanksgiving season is all about family, food, and gratitude, but that doesn’t mean you have to toss your fitness goals aside. At FIIT CULTURE, we believe you can enjoy every bite and still feel strong, energized, and proud of how you show up for yourself.

Here’s your Thanksgiving game plan: a mix of calorie-burning, muscle-building workouts and balanced nutrition strategies that won’t leave you feeling stuffed like the turkey.

🥧 How to Enjoy Thanksgiving Without Undoing Your Progress

1. Don’t “save” calories all day.
Skipping breakfast or lunch before Thanksgiving dinner backfires. Eat your normal meals (with protein and veggies) to keep blood sugar stable and prevent overeating later.

2. Load your plate smartly.

• Half veggies
• Quarter protein (turkey, chicken, ham)
• Quarter carbs (stuffing, mashed potatoes, rolls)
  Enjoy dessert mindfully—but make it count! Choose your favorite, portion it, and actually savor it.

3. Hydrate like it’s your job.
Aim for 80–100 oz of water daily this week. Add electrolytes if you’re training hard or enjoying a few cocktails.

4. Protein, protein, protein.
Post-feast recovery starts with protein. Aim for 30–40g at each meal. Turkey, eggs, Greek yogurt, and lean meats help preserve muscle and energy.

5. Move the day after.
Don’t punish yourself—just move. A walk, a FIIT HYBRID class, or some light lifting resets your rhythm fast.

🥂 Gratitude Over Guilt

Fitness isn’t about restriction, it’s about consistency, community, and balance.
Thanksgiving is the perfect reminder of why we train: so we can enjoy good food, good company, and feel good in our bodies year-round.
