Slim-Down Super Bowl Sunday

The spread at Super Bowl Sunday may be daunting, but make a point to have a game plan of your own when it comes to controlling calories. Try to pick three healthier items and enjoy those whole passing on wings or nachos. Consider making a preferable dish such as chili with lean ground beef or baked tortilla chips and guac so you're guaranteed a healthier choice.

Stock your fridge right if you are hosting the game. Instead of beer, choose light beer, seltzer, diet soda, and flavored waters. Enjoy light beer but alternate each serving with water to cut calories.

Instead of serving the snacks in front of the television, have them in the kitchen and allow guests to make their plates in the kitchen instead. Chances are you will all get so caught up in the game you'll forget about all those extra servings you'd normally help yourself to if the food were in easy reach.
