Super Bowl is second only to Thanksgiving for food consumption. The traditional foods tend to be high in calories, fat, salt & sugar. But, all is not lost! For tasty, healthy recipes, check out:

Still skeptical? Tweak your favorites by using a leaner cut of meat, reduced fat dairy (to replace some or all), or less oil. See Eat Smart Move More's Substitution List for ideas. Or, add in some fruits & veggies. Compared to many pre-prepared food, even making or assembling your own can be a healthier alternative.
If you're a Super Bowl traditionalist (or the guest of one), just adjust your game plan.
- Only choose foods you really enjoy.
- Portion size becomes even more important.
- Remember to eat slowly & savor the food.
