'Tis the season to eat all kinds of delicious foods, and sometimes they are loaded with sugar, and fat. They are comforting, and they are delicious, but they aren't meant to be breakfast, lunch, and dinner.  There are other filling & satisfying yummy, fun, and fast foods that are easy to make, store, and have on hand.  Holidays can be a stressful time, and sometimes missing loved ones can cause "the blues". Having a slight case of depression, during the holidays, is actually a normal thing, and fun foods, or "comfort foods", and studies show that they really do help, but unhealthy foods can be replaced, and still be comforting.  https://www.healthline.com/health/best-diets-for-mental-health#1 https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/21/smarter-living/yes-its-ok-to-be-sad-during-the-holidays.html , https://www.webmd.com/depression/holiday-depression-stress#1,  https://www.rachaelrayshow.com/food/19748_comfort_foods_to_get_you_through_the_rest_of_winter
