Gator football season is here. That means lots of orange and blue gear, Saturday football games and lots of tailgating with family and friends. When you think of tailgating food, you might imagine greasy hamburgers, chips with lots of cheese and big juicy steaks. But Gator tailgating does not have to ruin your diet. There are lots of healthy choices that can be a big hit with your guests. So read on to find out more about planning your next healthy tailgate party!
1.Buy Baked chips- Avoid traditional greasy chips and stick to baked varieties. Instead of cheese dip, purchase some salsa. Its made of tomatoes and provides you with lots of antioxidants and lycopene! Dig in!
2.Chilli made with ground turkey- Chili is another favorite tailgating food. It’s mostly made with ground beef. If you want to cut the fat in half substitute with lean turkey and use lots more beans.
3. Use light beer instead of regular- Light beer is just as good as regular beer and it will save you 30 to 50 calories a can!
4. Fruit kabob- Make dessert fun. Try cutting up some easy to manage fruit like pineapple, melon and apples. Let the guests put together their kabobs. Yogurt makes a great dip!
5. Replace red meat with chicken- This will help you cut your fat and calories in half! Chicken is also a great source of lean protein. Feel free to make chicken sandwiches.
6. Try turkey bratwursts. Traditional pork varieties can have up to 43 grams of fat!
