According to the U.S. Calorie Control Council the average football fan eats approximately a day’s worth of calories while watch the big game. Let us help you put together a game plan so your healthy eating habits don’t get sacked.
Bring You Own Appetizer: Heading to someone’s house to watch the big party? Instead of having to eat what is provided by the hostess, offer to bring an healthy alternative that you know you can snack on that won’t add up in empty calories. (Fruit tray, grilled chicken fingers, vegetable skewers… etc)
Eat a Healthy Snack Before the Party: Skipping a meal so you can “save up” for a big event will hurt you more than help you! Having a healthy snack before heading out to a Super Bowl party will help you eat less and make smarter choices when choosing what to put on your plate.
Look for Healthier Alternatives or Substitutes: When putting together chips and dips options for the big game remember to switch to whole grain or baked chips and choose dips that don’t include mayonnaise or sour cream. Try serving guacamole, salsa or a black dip – your waistline will be grateful!
Rethink Your Traditional Pizza Order: They say that Super Bowl Sunday is the biggest day of the year for pizza delivery companies. Don’t deprive yourself or your guests of pizza just adjust your order. Always order thin crust and try to switch out the heavy “meat lovers” toppings with lighter toppings like veggies.
