Answer #2: TRUE. White meat has half the calories (and a quarter of the fat) of dark meat with skin—so stick to white meat to save on calories…or to justify a second helping. Or, make your Thanksgiving meal even healthier by adding vegan options. http://www.care2.com/greenliving/have-a-vegan-thanksgiving.html
Answer #3: A., Soup. A study conducted by Baylor College of Medicine in Houston found that people who consumed a bowl of hot soup before meals ate less, lost more weight, and kept it off longer. Try these cold-weather soups to keep you warm—and full. http://www.care2.com/greenliving/warming-soups-for-autumn-part-1.html
4. Which Christmas treat is the naughtiest?Answer #4: C., Gingerbread men are often giants, which makes them naughtier than sugar cookies. The basic ingredients are similar in both recipes: sugar, butter, and flour. So size matters if you're counting calories.
A candy cane has half the calories of most cookies and no fat, but it is all sugar.
Each of these treats -- in a regular size -- has fewer than 100 calories, but it's hard to stop at just one! So when visions of sugarplums dance in your head, go easy on the cookie tray.
5. Which is the healthiest way to make stuffing?Answer #5: B., Made the old-fashioned way, dressing absorbs fat drippings while it bakes inside the turkey. Cook it on its own to avoid the extra grease.
More ways to spruce up your stuffing recipe: Use low-fat, low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth instead of butter to keep it moist. Try swapping nutty, delicious wild rice for bread. You'll boost the flavor and fiber.
Skip cholesterol-loaded giblets, bacon, and sausage. Instead, opt for lean chicken-apple sausage, nuts, celery, apples, or currants.
6. Which cheese is the best cracker topper?Answer #6: A. Brie. If you love the mild taste of brie, you’re in luck. Softer cheeses are usually lower in calories and fat than their firm cousins. The breakdown of calories per ounce:
Brie: 95
Goat: 103
Cheddar: 114
With any kind of cheese, calories add up fast. Try not to hover around the cheese tray. (nibble on fruit and veggies instead).

7. Which retro appetizer is better for you?
a) Pigs in a blanket b) Shrimp Cocktail
Answer #7: B. Shrimp Cocktail. Chilled shrimp with cocktail sauce is low in calories and rich in protein. Four large shrimp won't nudge your cholesterol level much, either, with just 46 milligrams. That's well below the 200 milligrams daily limit for people who need to watch their numbers. Alas, pigs in blankets, a cute name for hot dogs baked in rolls, are stuck in a 1950s idea of nutrition. Though tasty, they're loaded with calories, saturated fats, and salt.
Answer #8: B. Mashed. Even with a pat of butter, a baked potato has fewer calories and less fat than a cup of cheesy scalloped or buttery mashed spuds.
If you can't live without mashed potatoes, you can cut the fat by subbing skim milk for cream. Choose butter or gravy, not both. Butter has 36 calories a pat, while canned gravy is about 8 calories per tablespoon. Homemade gravy from pan drippings has a much higher calorie count.
Answer #9: D. All of the above. We know 150 minutes each week sounds like a lot of time, but it's not. That's 2 hours and 30 minutes, and the good news is that you can spread your activity out during the week, so you don't have to do it all at once. You can even break it up into smaller chunks of time during the day. It's about what works best for you, as long as you're doing physical activity at a moderate or vigorous effort for at least 10 minutes at a time. https://www.cdc.gov/physicalactivity/basics/adults/index.htm
10. True or False eating slowly can help you lose weight?
Answer #10: True. Your appetite and calorie intake is largely controlled by hormones. Normally after eating, your gut suppresses a hormone called ghrelin, which controls hunger. It also releases the anti-hunger hormones. These hormones relay a message to the brain, letting it know that you've eaten and that nutrients are being absorbed. This reduces appetite, makes you feel full, and helps you stop eating. This process takes about 20 minutes, so slowing down gives your brain the time it needs to receive these signals.
