How are you all planning to handle the super bowl food wise?

It'll be one of the few times (the others being in the past few weeks) that this Steelers fan has rooted for the Eagles, and it's time to fly, Eagles, fly.
Hah, are you the Eagles fan who wooed me?
LOL. No (and I even double checked).
I am definitely *not* an Eagles fan. But they're the underdog, and the Patriots are bad people.
I'm hoping that my cat's trend of winning teams continues. She loves watching football, and generally, when she stays awake for most of the game, either the Steelers win, the teams with the birdies win, or the teams with the kitties win. (It was rough going during the Steelers-Ravens game, and she needed an attitude adjustment during the Jaguars.) So, fingers crossed that she a) stays awake, and b) remembers that the birdies are the better team.
Oh man, that's awesome about your cat. I don't really like football and am a pretty big grump about public funding for stadiums (especially ugly bird-killing ones that look like sandcrawlers and make my drinks cost a dollar more), not to mention the extra traffic and fly-bys and grump grump grump. That said, most of us who work downtown are getting a three day weekend (mine is unpaid, but so it goes) because everything's getting locked down tomorrow, so that's fun.3 -
Venison Philly cheese steak pizza, beer, crudite. It will be my only meal of the day but I may still be over my maintenance calories. Oh well, I have all week to work that out.1

It's not a problem. I alone in my household have any interest in football, and I detest commercial interruption.
I have less than zero interest in the teams involved.2 -

Meet Abby and her Steelers:

a lot of wings and meatballs and a lot of beer. I'm not really concerned with a day.2

I'm going to handle it like a boss.3

I work downtown as well. They gave us the option to work from home this week but no extra days off.1 -

Oh man, I'd have taken work from home over an unpaid day off for sure. My husband's firm got the option to work from home all week plus an extra PTO day for tomorrow, the lucky so-and-sos.2 -

Agreed, those that are traveling are likely NOT the ones who would trash anything.1 -

Oh, I'm sure it won't be that bad. There's a lot of residual grumps around these parts over losing the championship game, though. And I'm just a curmudgeon by nature. It's good to see people enjoying themselves.
ETA: It's also really, really cold out right now, which I imagine will discourage lamppost climbing.3 -
Pullled buffalo chicken!0

Haven't decided. Been invited to a party I'm not sure if I want to go to or not. The party giver is a Patriots fan.
I do know I'm rooting for the Eagles, and specifically Jay Ajayi to get some serious yardage! Go, Boise State Bronco (alum)!1 -
not worrying about it. I wrote off the NFL ... I'm done with them.7

Dude, you booed Santa! AND threw snowballs at him.4 -
I will pre-log the best I can, and make that one of my higher calorie days (1450 5 days/week, 1800-2000 the other two days). I'll also eat lighter during the day before the game. It's just our family at home plus my FIL, so the food is pretty much up to me. We'll be having 7-layer dip and chips, and some fun appetizers from Trader Joe's. I can easily log those. We'll have some fresh vegetables and fruit out as well, to balance out. Some beer/wine will happen too, I'm sure. A fun night, some fun foods, but not a complete caloric blow-out.0

I don’t care about the super bowl so there’s that0

Well, my husband is from Boston and we are going to a Super Bowl watch party at a bar with other local Pats fans. Last year the party was so crazy, they broke the outside deck from all the jumping around. I think this year will be a little more tame.
So yeah, beer, wings, nachos, all the deliciousness. I went below my net calorie goal a lot this week and plan to exercise all weekend, so I am just going to eat/drink what i want and track a boat load of calories.2 -
We're having a party. I'm making chili (I need to throw it into the recipe calculator to see how much of it I get to have) and I'll be on my feet most of the day getting ready for the party, so I think I'll be fine. Chili, whatever dessert we end up with, a serving of chips and guac. I can't have alcohol so that helps.

I'll eat an appropriately sized dinner during the first half of the game and then be finished with food as I am every other night.1

Practically a holiday for many in the U.S. Lots of parties with lots of food and alcohol.4 -

I'll be at my usual recurring 1st Sunday Tango Milonga - so probably no difference (ie 1-2 drinks from the bar..possibly less than usual because I'm too impatient to wait long for a drink and the bar will be more packed than usual). (I've found that most of the local dancers don't particularly care about American Sportsball, but alas a good percentage of leads do disappear during the Copa America).
As far as special days go (that I do give a *kitten* about), I usually just quick-add a few thousand calories and don't bother tracking. (I didn't get fat over-indulging on just a handful of days a year).0 -
i dont do the superbowl.
its just another day to me lol1
