Super Bowl! Super Snacks! Super Size Me!


Just for fun, we analyzed a popular recipe for a dip. By the time, we added in some chips, the total calories came to 6704! That is enough calories for 5 1/2 days for most of us. We were more than a little shocked to see it provided 402 grams of fat - enough fat for 20 days! We were even more surprised to see that this "snack" provided 653 grams of carbohydrate - enough carbs for more than 5 days!

So what do we recommend for the big day coming up -
  • Watch from the treadmill

  • Plan to have a healthy meal during halftime - avoid the "snack" concept

  • Drink water or calorie free non-carbonated beverages during the game

  • Plan an active day before and after the big game

And if the Saints win, don't mention it to Lesley.

Enjoy the weekend,

Your Friend @ New U
