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.
