I LOVE peanuts... and they are usually my downfall when we go to any baseball game...

We are going to Shea stadium tonight for yanks/mets... I am budgeting for 2 beers. and a hot dog....

what else can I eat besides peanuts that are as good and as fun?

    popcorn no oily butter though. pickles are good if you like them. And a snow cone wouldnt be that bad either. And it seems like stadiums (at least minute maid park in houston) has every type of food imaginable even salads! So, if you keep your wits about you, you should be able to have a good time and stay reasonable.

    3 -- 16 oz beers (i usually only have 2) , a regular hot dog and a bun is about 630 calories... I am planning for that ... def will go for popcorn.... will pick up some low cal at the store on way in....

    Fruit LOVE IT... not so much at a b ball game!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL i unfortunately want junk...

    although you will be trying to stay away from those peanuts, remember that peanuts are full of great fats! - and don't forget about protein. so even if you do slip up from your plan, don't be too hard on yourself! have fun at the game!

    Take me out to the ballgame...

    Well the song says it all. If you're not going to have peanuts, then get some Cracker Jack. The original box only has 120 calories and is yummy. It's part of the tradition.

    I hope your team wins (unless it's the Dodgers!)

    didnt do too bad! Corn nuts were 220 cal for a package, had only some peanuts and shared the hot dog with my fiance...

    The beer got me! Adds up quick! only had 4 throughout the day, but that came in at 600 calories... grrr.
    Thanks for the input ! Definitely helped!

    PS.. GO YANKS

    Somehow, just somehow, I manage to sneak in Quaker rice cakes for those events. Almonds are also a nice little treat to have for situations like this.


    If anything, the beer is the only thing I have to worry about. :laugh: :smokin:
