Super Healthy Super Bowl

Tomorrow is one of America's biggest food days after Thanksgiving.  That means everyone from New York to LA , from Maine to Hawaii are going to be stuffing themsleves silly. It's a day when calories and pounds are crazily packed on. However Super Bowl Sunday can be  a day to be careful and eat with a watchful eye.

Most fans don't realize that they can have just as much fun with some healthy choices as they can with unhealthy ones.For example, that staple wings can be even better for you if they're baked or roasted. You do  have to use olive oil for moisture but that's it. The result is even better than fried wings  with tender meat and a crispy skin coating.Another Super Bowl must have are sliders. Most foodies love theirs  made from pure beef or pulled pork on buttered and toasted rolls. A much healthier alternative is turkey burger or pulled chicken. Of course you can sub in veggie burgers and there is even a vegan version of pulled pork that tastes exactly like the real thing. Sub in  unbuttered whole wheat buns for white for more goodness.

Most fans would agree that pizza is one of the best heart healthy foods to eat during any game. Yes and no.  Pizza can be healthy if the toppings are roasted veggies or even chicken. However everyone loves theirs piled with pepperoni and sometimes steak. Some companies and privately owned pizzerias offer ones with double stuffed crusts that ar e just super  loaded  with cheese. Keep the game pizza simple, with an option of onions , peppers and mushrooms as toppings. A pie also tastes better with extra sauce as opposed to extra cheese. Also suppliment that slice with salad. You won't reach for a third or fourth slice if you have greens with the first or second.

Tomorrow is a big food day however make it a healthy eating day. Make choices that are winning. You'll score one for the home team your body if you do.
