Super Bowl XLVI is this weekend so you know what that means; junk food. That’s ok though. This can be one of those exceptions to your diet. You work so hard all of the days leading up to it so you can relax and eat a bit of junk and not feel too bad about it. That being said, it’s still best to stick to the less damaging of the junk foods. Some options are even healthy so you won’t stray from your diet at all. Here’s a Super Bowl food guide to help you out this year.
Chips and Dip
Good Eats – Chips and Salsa
14 chips: Calories 120, Fat 4g, Sodium 150g, Carbs 22g, Protein 2g
4 tbs. Salsa: Calories 20, Fat 0g, Sodium 200mg, Carbs 3g, Protein 1g
You’ll save 20 calories 4 grams of fat by getting baked chips instead of regular. Salsa is almost all vegetables and is a great choice for a dip.
Bad Eats – Potato Chips and French Onion Dip
14 Chips: Calories 150, Fat 10g, Sodium 180mg, Carbs 15g, Protein 2g
4 tbs. Dip: Calories 120, Fat 10g, Sodium 460mg, Carbs 8g, Protein 2g
You’ll save 130 calories, 17 grams of fat and 290 mg of sodium by switching to chips and salsa!
Pizza
Good Eats -Thin Crust Pizza
1 slice: 270 calories, Fat 12g, Sodium 530 mg, Carbs 22g, Protein 10g
Bad Eats - Regular Hand Tossed Pizza
1 slice: Calories 330, Fat 14g, Sodium 870 mg, Carbs 37g, Protein 13g
Beer
Good Drinks Calories Carbs Alcohol %
Budweiser Select 99 3g 4.3%
Michelob Ultra 95 2.6g 4.1%
Miller Lite 93 3g 4.2%
Bud Light 110 6g 4.2%
Coors Light 102 5g 4.15%
Bad Drinks Calories Carbs Alcohol %
Budweiser 145 10.6g 5.0%
Miller Genuine Draft 143 13.1g 4.7%
Sam Adams Boston Lager 160 18g 4.75%
Sierra Nevada 175 14.1g 5.6%
Bottom line: stick to the light stuff. The lights all taste great and the alcohol percentage in the heavy stuff is a fraction of a percent more which isn’t worth the calories or carbs.
Hopefully this guide will help direct you away from the grease and towards a much healthier choice.
Until tomorrow, spend Everyday Living Fit!
