You aren’t going to gain 20 lbs from one day of eating poorly and you’re not going to lose 20 lbs from one day of eating well.
So for starters, just take a deep breath and let’s go in with a general game plan so we aren’t being ridiculous.

Nutrition Strategy – Prioritize Protein
If you’re a Texan, then this is great news for you. Are you really a Texan if you’re not tearing up an entire Brisket for both Thanksgiving & Christmas???
My #1 piece of advice this holiday season is to just start every meal with protein.
10 bites of protein, then do whatever you want.
Steak, eggs, chicken, pork, turkey, cheese, fish, shrimp, greek yogurt, ground beef, lamb, or deli meat. It’s a long list of options!
If you can nail the first 10 bites of your meal, then it’ll be much harder to derail later!
Get the good stuff first, and let the rest fall into place.
Merry Christmas!
If I don’t hear from you in the next week, I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas full of rest and fellowship.
And to 2025…
May your year be filled with low squats, heavy weights, and glutes that turn heads!😉
Oh, and here’s that nutrition guide I promised you…
