Nutrition Australia has a range of tips to help you eat sensibly over Christmas.
Low fat snacks are best, like pretzels, rice crackers with salsa, vegetable sticks and fruit platters.
Hidden calories can be found in many drinks such as punch and wine. Try diluting it by making a spritzer: mix one part wine with one part club soda.
Nutrition Australia’s recommendation for a healthy turkey is to roast it after removing fat and skin at the rear. Stuff it with steamed rice, brandy-soaked dried apricots and toasted pine nuts.
