Whats on the menu for the Superbowl parties??? Are you sticking to the diet or just eating in moderation? What are some good, healthy, game night type foods? Any suggestions.....

    It is an extremely HARD day to be 'Good' :( i put the superbowl up there with thanksgiving lol.. just be sure to get a Good work out in that Sunday before the game.. knowing that you worked out wont make u feel as bad at picking at all the food in front of you...

    Go Steeleres :drinker: SIXBURGH

    Our Sunday School class always has a chili cook-off. I will just be making sure that I don't eat too much and make sure I work out. The party is at my house so I can burn some of those extra calories cleaning.

    Hungry Girl boneless buffalo wings & Weight Watchers potato skins. Both of these recipes are on those sites. We've had them both & they are yummo w/not alot of guilt. I'll think I'll also do a veggie tray w/ low cal dip. Munch all evening on those. And yes a few light beers will be consumed as well! GO SAINTS!!!

    vegetable pizza! it's so easy... use pita bread and spread low fat cream cheese. then top it off with boccoli, cauliflower, tomatoes, and any other veggies you like. i love onions, so i put some on. and mushrooms :) sprinkle the top with low fat parmasan cheese! yumm-o!

    Luckily, the Superbowl falls during my dance class. Otherwise, I'd probably go to a party and splurge like a fiend :)

    we have a deep frier party every superbowl. everone has to come with something different to put in the fryer, and the best recipie wins. I am going to cheat a bit BUT...... I am going to bake the chicken wings pre-party and then sauce them with different sauces and put the into the broiler to get crispy. you can eat 8 baked wings for 320 calories. I am also going to serve salsa instead on regular dip. these are things my guests won't notice. a fruit and veggie bowl will be out too.

    here are some suggestions for parties....bring a veggie dip plate and use ff sour cream or cheese for the dip then you have something healthy to pick on. If you plan on drinking 1. light beer, red wine or clear liquor w club or diet soda and make every other drink a glass of water with lemon or lime (will give you the impression its a vodka tonic or something you'd want to be drinking at a party and keep all the naysayers from asking why your not drinking). Bring the lemon lime slices if this is your plan so you can be sure they are there.
    instead of grazing make a small plate and walk away from the food, this will give you a better idea of what you are consuming and if you put healthier choices on your plate and walk away you will be filling yourself with good things before you have a chance to load up on dessert.
    Also eat a healthy meal before you go so that you are not ravenous and in front of junk food which might cause you to overeat the wrong foods.
    Moderation is key and deprivation usually ends badly so don't deny yourself everything...pick dessert or snack that you want and have it in combination with other good food choices :)
    Position yourself somewhere that food can't be reached...ie don't sit in front of a table that has bowls of chips etc....nobody is that good LOL

    I'm going to a work party with 5hr free open bar...wish me luck LOL Have fun everyone:smile:

    Good luck everyone! I am actually going to try and eat very very little and just consume alot of beers instead. My goal is to eat 1 plate of what I want and that is it. No 2nd or 3rds and no munching. What fits on the plate is what will go in..Its the beers that will kill me (gluten free beers have no light option)

    Unfortunately there will be no superbowl party for us this year. My DH has to work on Sun. night. So looks like I will stick to my diet, although a cocktail might be in order. Besides its not me who has to work.lol

    brookelillie - I'm JEALOUS! I'm from Louisiana but have lives in Colorado for 5 years now. I wish I was in NOLA right now...I bet it has so much great energy!
    I have found a bar out here to watch the Saints games at...for the NFC Championship game we had over 325 Saints fans show up! Pretty amazing. They are even going to have Abita on tap just for us!
    Anyway...I'll be at a bar for the Superbowl so I dont know just how healthy I can be. Beer and bar food?!?! I this will be bad news for me!
    GO SAINTS!!!! WHHOOOOOO DAAAAAAAAAAT!!!!!

    Oh man! Greatttt post! This weekend is superbowl ANDDDD I LIVE IN MIAMIIIII! Oh my..... I have also been looking forward to it and think of it as a holiday. I think that making myself work out for at least an hour that morning and eating healthy before will cut the bad choices (alittle bit). If everyone that is cheating works out, that will curb the damage! Good luck everyone and have an amazing time! :)

    Hey Kristen81. it is absolutely INSANE down here!! Not only SUPA BEAUXL (lol) but Mardi Gras parades start tonight!! Its going to be a busy weekend, but I'm sure I'll burn quite a few calories walking at the parade and cheering for my Saints!! Can you believe we actually made it? Glad you got some Abita!(My fav is their pontchtoula strawberry that comes out in the Spring) Stay warm in Colorado!! Geaux Saints!

    I am going to be running in a 5K that morning, so I am imagining that will justify the food/drink that will be at the party we are invited to. I went to costco and bought the favorite dip that my hostess loves, and was SHOCKED to see how caloric it is...she loves that chunky artichoke and jalapeno dip, it is 90 calories for 2 tbsp. I have seen an entire quart container disappear at her house in a matter of a few hours, and I had never checked the cals...I won't be eating that, I can tell you that much!!!


    not to be contrary but just out of loyalty to my hubby....GO COLTS :tongue:

    In "Historic" Harvey. In fact my 2 year old daughter refers to herself as the Princess of Harvey! And you? We probably know each other!
