Football season kicks off tonight in New Orleans!! Everything here is buzzing with the pregame concert from Jackson Square and then the face off with the Vikings!
It's also the time to stop and think about what you are putting in your body! For those of you watching at home, make those healthy snacks rather than the normal chips, dips, nachos and pizza. You can still enjoy those, but with a bit of tweaking you can make them healthier and cut the calorie and fat content down.
Go with baked chips; make your own dip using non-fact plain yogurt instead of sour cream. Add in your own spices or go for it by using a pre-made dip mix with that yogurt. Guacamole is a great snack choice, healthy if paired with a baked pita chip; hummus is a high protein snack loaded with fiber; if you really want those nachos, go with the baked chips, a white cheese (less fat and calories), add those chopped tomatoes and chili peppers. You can add in some protein with grilled chicken pieces, shrimp or crab meat!
Headed to your local sports bar; watch that beer, the calories add up quickly. Order grilled chicken with a salad, if you crave that pizza, see if they have a thin crust loaded with veggies!
Remember, it's almost impossible to work off a bad diet. And this is about a habit....create a healthy football season habit; you'll feel better, look better and enjoy the game even more!!!
