Game-Day Bites Portion Control Tips

Football season is a time to gather family and friends for fun, football, and an irresistible menu of game-day eats! Enjoy the buzz of every game guilt-free with these winning tips:

• Eat a nutritious snack right before the game to help curb your hunger. Try snacks high in protein and fiber such as nuts, edamame or a whole-wheat pita with lean meat and veggies.
• To feel more full without consuming as many calories, choose healthy items first such as fruits and veggies. Use an entrée-sized plate for nutritious foods and small plates for less healthy items.
• Keep yourself feeling full throughout the meal by drinking plenty of water.
• Eat slowly and savor each bite to give your body time to feel satiated and satisfied.
• Share your sweet treats with someone else to split the portion.
