So...I'm going to a Cardinal's game tonight! Yay! And It's in a suite at the stadium where there will be all you can eat nachos, hot dogs, pretty sure veggies, chips, peanutes, etc. Any suggestions on what to eat, what to stay away from, or how to fight the urge to eat 5 plates of fat added to my thighs? What do you all eat when you go to a sports game?
All opinions are appreciated! Thanks in advance.

having sat in a similar box at a yankee game a few years ago, ok, more than a few, i think you will have your pick of fruits and veggies. i would eat those and nothing but those until you are almost full. focus on the game, not the food. when i was there people didn't even watch the game, they just hung out in the back and ate and talked the whole time. so stay focused on the game. once you are *almost* full, i would treat myself to some of whatever is most appetizing. so if chicken fingers are your thing, then treat yourself to those.
you can also play some games with yourself... like tell yourself you can't eat anything but fruits and veggies until the 6th inning. or only get out of your seat to get more food between innings. or treat yourself to a taste of something irresistible only when the cards hit a homerun, or if they score a run. stuff like that will make it a bit more fun for you, and think of all the calories you'll save if they are shut out. if they have big and small plates, use the small ones, you'll fit less on your plate.
plus, maybe have a big salad before you go. drink a lot of water. take a gulp every time someone gets out. stuff like that. plus, while all the food looks good, usually it doesn't taste as good as it looks.
good luck. who are they playing?0 -
some ballparks have veggie dogs. or you can have a hot dog without toppings. Some have BBQ stands where you can get like grilled chicken. drink lots of water to feel full.0

Personally I'd go whole hog on the hot dogs, minus the buns, but I'm a low carber, so my idea of healthy may be different than yours. If there's a veggie platter, knock yourself out on that too, and lots of ice water0

Thanks for the advice everyone!
@knighttreader- they are playing against the Cubs which is our biggest rival so it's going to be a very exciting game! I probably won't even need to focus on the food since the game should (hopefully) be exciting!0
