Hi Everyone:

This is my first superbowl since going to band land. I got through the holidays fine, but I'm bugged about the superbowl and knowing that I can't chow down on this "holiday".

Any suggestions for low calorie superbowl Snacks?

I'm sure this is not the answer you are looking for...But it's one day. Enjoy whatever you want and can tolerate. You'll not want anything additional if your full and you'll be satisfied that you had some yummy tailgate favorites...I'm a believer in the "everything in moderation" that includes cheating days...You may have one every month or so.

go onto the Splenda.com webpage or low fat/healty foods and you will find a few suggestions. I know there is a good web page called eating well. Try it

Same boat here Sue. I'm making a pot of Chicken/White Bean Chili, and a low fat bean dip (FF refried Beans / grnd turkey / taco seasoning / frz corn / shredded cheese = bake). Hopefully, most won't realize the huge cut in fat/calories!

I was going to suggest chili and bean dip too! Great minds think alike! My hubby is a police officer and for the officers that work on superbowls there is an officer who takes off that day and cooks a big pot of chili for the on duty officer's to stop by and grab a bowl of. So, chili has become a superbowl tradition for us!

I make nachos.

I use soy crumbles /w taco seasoning - it's not as funky as it sounds. I make a plate for each person:

Put some fat-free refried Beans on each chip (10-12 on a plate), sprinkle the soy mixture, add a little reduced-fat cheese next. Nuke for 40-45 seconds. Add some diced tomato, jalapeno slices and some light sour cream. YUMMM

I will be making cheese dip w/ the light velveeta (noone can tell the difference) and some guacamole. I can't eat much of any of it but I won't feel deprived either.

Can you tell we love Mexican food? lol

I am making hummus, and bringing my own personal bag of Genisoy soy chips. This way I can use the chips for my hummus, and taste any other dip that may look interesting with my dip. I know someone is bringing raw veggies....that is always a good option too.

Ditto the hummus! It's tasty and has protein as well. I like to dip raw veggies into it, especially peppers. It's definitely one of my favorite "less guilt" snacks. Enjoy!
