For sports fans, a game without tailgating is the ultimate penalty. Between friends, football, and food, it's easy to get caught up in the fun and forget about your healthy intentions, and then overdo the fat and calories. Here are some ideas for creating a healthy game plan to enjoy at the stadium or at home in front of the big screen TV.
Easy Tailgating Tips
--Lighten Up: Grill lighter fare such as skinless chicken or fish instead of burgers and brats.
--Veg Out: Bring a chopped salad with leafy greens and fresh, cut-up vegetables
with hummus.
--Get Skinny: Make dips with low-fat mayo and thick, Greek-style yogurt instead
of regular mayo.
--Eat Dessert: Dip chunks of fresh apples and pears in low-fat caramel sauce
and chopped nuts.
