Try out some of these tailgating tips:
Choose healthier sides: Instead of going for the chips, try to eat more sides of fruits and vegetables.
Grilling out: You can still enjoy grilling out, just choose lean meats. Try eating chicken breasts, turkey burgers, or even salmon burgers. One healthy alternative could also be skewers – it could incorporate onions, peppers, lean meats and makes things more fun!
Drink a ton of water: Especially in the earlier months of football season, it can still be very hot outside. Be sure to frequently drink water to avoid dehydration.
Resist snacking: Just because there is a ton of food around, does not mean you have to eat it all. It can be easy to overeat in these situations, make sure that you are only eating because you are hungry!
