Performance Nutritionist Chris Newport breaks down a simple plan to enjoy Halloween without overdoing it: anchor with protein, set clear treat limits, stay hydrated, and lean into non-food traditions that make the night memorable. She also shares inclusive ideas for handing out goodies and smart ways to handle leftover candy.

• planning protein to steady appetite and protect lean mass
• setting selective treat limits that match personal goals
• using hydration to reduce cravings and support energy
• focusing on non-food traditions for connection and fun
• using the Teal Pumpkin Project for allergy-friendly options
• practical strategies for leftover candy: donate, sell, switch-witch
• reframing holidays to avoid guilt and maintain momentum
