Superbowl Snacks on Global TV

Yesterday Beatrice Politi of Global TV came to the clinic to chat about Superbowl snacks, calorie counts, and healthier options.

The typical superbowl party usually includes chili, nachoes, pizza, and of course beer. All of which can quickly add up on the calorie count for the day, causing the scales to tip and possibly derail some of those new years resolutions. I'm not here to take away all the pleasures of life but there are definitely little things you can do to decrease the damage done in a few short hours.

Try chicken breast strips rolled in cornflakes or rice crackers and baked instead of chicken wings; a homemade yogurt dip instead of those nasty ranch dips; ground chicken or turkey instead of ground beef; adding a few more vegetables on to that pizza or maybe ordering thin crust instead of thick; and of course pacing yourself with the beers, having water in between.
