It's easy to go overboard when it comes to snacking during the Super Bowl. YouBeauty Nutrition Advisor Kristin Kirkpatrick, R.D., says studies show that Americans eat about 44 percent more in social settings than when dining alone.
Kirkpatrick recommends using salad bowls and plates for main dishes and going easy on or entirely skipping fatty dips and chips, which pack a lot of calories in a small serving.
Be kind to your waistline by foregoing those jalapeno poppers and chili cheese fries while cheering on your favorite team this Super Bowl Sunday. Instead, provide your party guests with a sampling of these 10 healthy and tasty snacks. Your body will thank you-inside and out.
Popcorn
Prepare your popcorn on the stove with canola oil or by using an air popper and place in small servings in baskets. Spray popcorn lightly with an oil mister and add healthy spices like cinnamon or herbs for extra flavor.
Kirkpatrick says popcorn has been shown to help with weight loss, as well as disease prevention. "It's loaded with fiber and antioxidants, yet extremely low in calories," she says.
