This can really help minimize mindless grazing.<\/p>\n<h2>Practice head-to-head matchups of indulgent vs. healthy fare<\/h2>\n<p>Make a game-day rule that for every wing you eat, you\u2019ll have three celery sticks. Or for every brownie, you have one cup of fruit. If your healthy choices outnumber your not-so-healthy ones, you can walk away feeling proud and satisfied, while still enjoying some classic game-day foods.<\/p>\n<h2>Watch what you&#8217;re sipping on<\/h2>\n<p>Use the 1:1 drinking rule. For every alcoholic beverage you plan to drink, follow it up with a full glass of water. \u00a0Not only can alcohol add a hefty amount of calories to your evening it can also lower inhibitions, which may result in more munching than you intended.<\/p>\n<h2>Bring a healthy dish<\/h2>\n<p>Bringing your own contribution to a potluck or Super Bowl party will ensure there will be at least one healthy option to enjoy.. You can also impress your friends with a nutritious contribution to the spread that\u2019s still absolutely delicious.
