Healthy substitutes for the Super Bowl

EL PASO, Texas (KVIA) -- Each year, nearly 100 million Americans get ready to watch the Super Bowl, or you may just be interested in the food that comes with super bowl parties.

Many foods encountered at Super Bowl parties are high in calories, fat, and carbohydrates. Try to limit your intake of high-calorie and low-nutrition foods. 

The average American will eat somewhere around 11,000 calories on Super Bowl Sunday. That is four and a half times more than the recommended daily calorie intake. 

If you regularly exercise, do so before the party on Super Bowl Sunday. Or, take a brisk walk at halftime or during a less enticing part of the game. Pace yourself when snacking, the super bowl on average is over 3 hours long. Don’t eat everything during the first 15 minutes of the party.
