Healthy Snacking for Football Season

미식축구 시즌, 건강하게 간식 먹기 

It’s that time of year again... football and 1junk food temptations.

“Anytime we’2re in a social setting we eat about 40% more than if we were just sitting alone at our kitchen table without all of the 3distractionsthat a football game would allow.”

Registered Dietitian Kristin Kirkpatrick with the Cleveland Clinic says indulging some is ok. But if you do, prepare for it by eating well the rest of the week, or you can focus on eating less.

“If you wanna eat all these things maybe just 4take a few bites of each and then 5limit the portion, so still enjoy the things that you really love that you don’t wanna 6deprive yourself of just have less of it.”

Kirkpatrick says if you want healthy 7alternatives, consider baking wings or using an air fryer. You can also use a dry rub or find a sugar-free sauce. Pre-made dips are often full of junk. Try making your own with fresh 8ingredients. 9Swap out chips for veggies. If you’re going to a game, ditch that hot dog for a grilled chicken sandwich and limit the sides.

“We can look at little swaps for some of our things that can make a huge difference with the overall day and the meal that we have.”

So, you can still enjoy the season without tackling your health.
