Party Smart

Daily Tip for Wednesday, December 17, 2008 Party Smart When you're keeping an eye on what goes into your mouth, a holiday party (did someone say "buffet"?) can be a little intimidating. We say throw on that killer cocktail dress you've been dying to flaunt and saunter off to that party with confidence. Once armed with these party-smart tricks, you can easily munch merrily and toast to your health! Look for the smaller, Frisbee-size dinner plate. Pile up the veggies and protein, leaving a tiny wedge for indulgences like starches and desserts. Chuck the piecrust once you've enjoyed the warm, oozing fruit filling. Grab a snack before the party so you don't arrive famished. Order up a figure-friendly beverage like champagne (78 calories), light beer (57 calories) or a white wine spritzer with a twist of lemon (72 calories).
