Calorie Saving Tips For your Super Bowl Party!

Many will be consuming plenty of calories while attending that Super Bowl Party so here are a few ideas to help save some calories as you prepare for that party!



1.  No Nachos!  Skip the high calorie nacho cheese and fried chips!  Never a good idea!  Instead opt for the baked chips and salsa.

2.  Don't skip the Shrimp!  Shrimp cocktail is minimal prep work and one of the lowest calorie snacks you can choose.  5 large shrimp with cocktail sauce are only about 150 calories.

3.  Think before you Drink!  Always a good idea no matter, but when you decide to indulge choose a light beer instead of regular.  You can save almost 100 calories per beer!  By limiting those empty calories you will save time at the gym.  Also add H2O in between drinks.  This will not only keep you from drinking as much but also help you feel full and hydrated!

4.  Veggies The Old Fashion Way!  Raw vegetables are high in fiber and saves you many calories compared to other snacks.  The kicker is the dip.  Instead of using the regular ranch dressing with sour cream, try adding a pack of dry ranch mix to a container of plain non fat Greek yogurt.  It's high in protein, low in fat and taste like the regular dip!

5.  Eat Wings!  It wouldn't be a Super Bowl party without the chicken wings!  So go ahead and eat those wings.   Instead of using the deep fat fryer try baking the wings.  They will take a little longer so be prepared but the wait will be worth the saved calories and fat!

Enjoy the your Super Bowl Party and hope your team wins!
