SCORE A TOUCHDOWN WITH HEALTHIER FOOD

Football season is in full swing. Watching a game is exciting, highlighted by beautiful cheerleaders, marching bands, highfives, and bone-crushing tackles. And then there’s the pregame party where we socialize with family and friends while feasting on a delicious, but usually high-caloric meal. Rather than packing on unnecessary pounds before kickoff, consider forming a solid game plan well in advance to enjoy the usual football food in a healthier way.

HERE ARE A FEW IDEAS:

1. If you are a fan of nachos and cheese, swap the fried tortilla chips for baked lentil chips. This will reduce total fat, trans fat, and calories. Instead of using processed cheese, use a tomato-based salsa.

2. Sure, takeout pizza requires little work on your part, but a homemade pizza is much healthier. Use whole wheat tortillas or pita bread to save calories. Use vegetable toppings and part-skim mozzarella cheese to reduce fat.

3. What’s football without Buffalo wings? Remember to bake or broil them instead of frying. This way you will inevitably use less butter and add less fat. Spice up the taste with cayenne pepper or crushed red pepper flakes.
