ARLINGTON, VA - There is no need to compromise delicious food or fun for your healthy lifestyle this Thanksgiving. "FoodFit has unique solutions for Thanksgiving that ensure your holiday can taste great and still be good for you and your family," said Ellen Haas, FoodFit founder and former Undersecretary of Agriculture for Food, Nutrition, and Consumer Services. FoodFit.com has pulled together a collection of chef-created menus, wholesome recipes, and entertaining tips to make sure you have a festive and guilt-free holiday season.

Highlights from FoodFit.com include:
