8 Tips To Stay Healthy For Super Bowl Sunday

Did you know Super Bowl Sunday is second only to
Thankgiving for food consumption? An estimated
14,500 tons of chips and 4,000 tons of popcorn are
eaten during the big game!!

That being said, here are 8 tips and tricks
to keep your eating habits under control come
kickoff.

1. Don't eat from the chip bowl. Portion out your
chips and dip to prevent mindless overeating.

2. And speaking of dip, offer/bring a low fat
option with toasted pita chips or baked tortilla
chips. This will cut the fat and carb content.

3. Speaking of dip...don't double dip! Dip the
chip and end it.

4. If you're going to grill hamburgers and hot
dogs, go ahead and add some chicken breasts. Grill
them with a tasty marinade. You can assume at
least a few of your guests will want a healthy
option as well.

5. Include a whole wheat bun/bread option too.

6. Stick to light beer. Always have a glass of
water with it. Sip from both of them and you'll be
surprised how much less beer you drink.

7. One dessert. Nothing more.

8. I don't have a favorite this year, but I'm
hoping for a close, exciting game (my prediction is below). But if the game
is slow and the commercials disappointing, don't
eat out of boredom. Keep the conversation going or
start a game of your own.

Most importantly, have FUN!! It's a great time to
spend with friends and family. And doing it
healthy never hurts.

To your health and fitness,
