how do you handle thanksgiving on a glp-1?
decide the portion before you sit down rather than at the table. thanksgiving is built around volume, second helpings and a plate you fill yourself, which is the one thing a smaller appetite cannot do. an individual labeled plate takes that decision out of the room. lead with the protein, treat the rest as optional, and plan for leftovers rather than treating a half-finished plate as a failure. we cook food and are not dietitians or doctors, so anything about your medication is a conversation for your prescriber.
can you order a portion-controlled thanksgiving dinner in minneapolis?
yes. tandoco cooks thanksgiving as individual labeled plates as well as family trays, across the twin cities. every plate carries its protein, calorie and fiber figures on the label, so the portion is decided in the kitchen instead of at the table. pickup or delivery in the days before the holiday, orders close saturday november 21.
why is a shared tray harder than a plate on a smaller appetite?
a tray hands the portioning decision to you in the middle of a social meal, with everyone watching and someone offering more. a plate has already answered it. it also travels home intact, which matters when you eat a third of it at the table and want the rest on friday.
what should you eat first if your appetite is small?
the protein, while you still have room for it. when appetite is the limiting factor, whatever you eat first is what you actually get, so leading with turkey rather than bread and sides means the part you cared about is the part that lands. everything else on the plate becomes optional rather than a race.
are leftovers a problem on a glp-1?
they are the point. an individual plate that gets half eaten on thursday and finished on friday is the system working, not you failing at dinner. everything arrives fully cooked and reheats, and each item carries its own reheating instructions on its own label.
do you deliver on thanksgiving day?
no. pickup and delivery run in the days before thanksgiving, tuesday the 24th and wednesday the 25th, not on the holiday itself. the food is cold, fully cooked and in your fridge before thursday starts.
is this a medical or clinical program?
no. tandoco is a scratch kitchen and wellness bakery in minneapolis. we cook food, print the numbers on the label and portion it honestly. we are not dietitians, doctors or a clinical program, and nothing here is medical advice. questions about your medication belong with your prescriber. if you want the everyday version of this rather than the holiday one, that is glp-1 meal prep in minneapolis.
