Healthy Eating's video: What Do Dietitians Eat During The Holidays

In this episode of Ask a Nutritionist, six Registered Dietitian Nutritionists to help answer the question, "What do dietitians eat during the holidays?” RDN's featured (in order) include: Maureen Bligh, Megan Holdaway, Maria Frye, Kristal Shelden, Tracy Mendez and Ashley Rosales. The holidays are traditionally a time for friends and family to gather, celebrate, and share in traditions—both old and new. While a healthy eating pattern is encouraged year-round, many of the foods that are associated with the holidays are indulgent, meant to be savored once a year. Balancing healthy foods with tradition and the delicious foods that are an integral part of holiday celebrations is important for health now and in the future. We asked a few of the Registered Dietitian Nutritionists at Dairy Council of California to share their favorite holiday foods and traditions to highlight what we passionately believe: that cultural food traditions matter, sweet and savory foods fit into a healthy eating pattern and enjoying delicious food during the holidays creates cherished, long-term memories.
