What to Eat at Your Local Sports Bar
There’s a big basketball tournament around the corner and chances are, if you're a big fan, you might end up at a bar or two this month. So, what do you do if you’ve been on a great health streak that you don’t want to kick, but you still want to join your friends at the bar for a good game? Here are some game-changing tips to keep you locked in the action without worrying about compromising your health.
Buffalo Wings
There’s nothing like an order of buffalo wings to share with friends during a game. But there is a healthier swap that you can make! Try asking your waiter if they can make grilled chicken skewers with a side of buffalo sauce. This skinless option isn’t fried, so it cuts down the calories significantly, while still giving you all the flavors you love about your buffalo wings!
Burgers, but make it Veggie
When trying to find a healthy swap at the bar, you don't have to settle for just a side salad. Many sports bars now offer veggie burgers that are made with delicious and nutritious ingredients like black beans, quinoa, and veggies. They're a great source of protein and will leave you feeling satisfied without the added calories.
Fries
French fries might be the hardest food to cut when you are trying to eat healthy. But what if you didn’t have to cut them out totally? Instead of regular fries, try sweet potato fries next time you are out. They're packed with nutrients and fiber, which will keep you feeling fuller for longer. Plus, they're a great source of vitamin A, which is great for your vision.
When it comes to living a healthy lifestyle, it’s all about finding that balance so that you can take care of your body while still enjoying those moments that you love so much. It’s all about moderation. Go team!
