But this year you have a choice: You can either run the length of the football field 109 times to burn off all of those extra calories, or you can follow the savvy nutritional advice from the new bestseller Eat This, Not That!. David Zinczenko, editor-in-chief of Men’s Health, and co-author Matt Goulding show you how to cut your caloric intake in half and still eat and drink everything you want during the gridiron showdown.

Bowl of chili with cheddar and onions

Not that!
6 chicken wings with blue cheese
650 calories

Going to a Super Bowl bash hungry is like going to the supermarket on an empty stomach. Curb your caloric spending and your craving for spice by eating a bowl of chili at kickoff. You’ll save yourself up to 450 calories by the time the winners hoist the Lombardi trophy skywards. That’s because the protein and the fiber found in a hearty bowl of red work to fill your belly and prevent the mindless munching that football, and all of those high-budget commercials, encourages.";

Kraft Guacamole Dip (4 Tbsp)
100 calories
9 g fat
In the world of dips, guacamole is normally near the top of the nutritional heap, but Kraft’s “guacamole” contains less than 2 percent avocado. Instead, the company replaces the natural heart-healthy fats of avocado with hydrogenated oils, a negligent swap that makes a hot cheesy-salsa dip the better option. An even better bet? Mash up your own guac at home with real avocado, fresh garlic, minced onion, cilantro and fresh lime juice. ";

4 breadsticks with garlic dipping sauce
850 calories

Cheese or no cheese isn’t the most important consideration when it comes to a pile of breadsticks. What matters most is what you’re dipping them in. The worst offender of all is the garlic dipping sauce. Made from partially hydrogenated soybean oil and “garlic flavor,” one little tub contains 400 calories, 50 grams of fat and 7 grams of trans fat. Marinara proves a hearty condiment with only 25 calories a serving, plus a dose of cancer-fighting lycopene to boot. ";

Pizza Hut large Thin N’ Crispy pizza
2240 calories

More pizzas will be ordered this Sunday than on any other day of the year, and dialing the right number could mean the difference of 800 calories come kickoff. We’ve tested all of the national pizza chains in the search of the healthiest pie in the country, and we’ve yet to find any that can contend with Domino’s thin-crust pizza. The crackling crust and the restrained balance of cheese and sauce takes a cue from Italy, where traditional pizzas are made with a lighter hand. ";

Cheese fries with ranch (1 cup)

When it comes to picking the lesser of two evils, cheese fries will always be on the losing team. Think about it: fried potatoes, smothered in cheese and soaked in one of the fattiest condiments known to man. Not only do you get a huge caloric discount by choosing the chicken (dip your fingers in barbecue sauce, not ranch, to maximize your savings), but you also get a hit of belly-filling protein. Bonus: Toss the chicken fingers in spicy Buffalo sauce for a nutritionally superior version of your standard hot wings. ";

Michelob Light (12 oz)
123 calories

Not all lights beers were created equal. In fact, Michelob’s version has more calories and carbs than many full-flavored beers, like Guinness Draught and Rolling Rock. Beck’s, on the other hand, puts out the lowest-calorie beer on the market, with less than half the calories of many of its light competitors. Make this switch over the course of the game you might save 300 calories (depending on how thirsty you are); make it for the year and you can knock off 10 pounds.";

Skip the trays of brownies and the piles of cookies this year—they’re fodder for mindless eating throughout the course of the game, and could easily contribute up to 500 calories to your game-day calorie total if you’re not careful. Instead, fill your freezer with a couple boxes of Edy’s Nestle Crunch Bars and pass them out to the crowd during the fourth quarter. Not only do they contain less than half the calories and fat of the Haagen-Dazs version, but they’re also substantially lighter on the sugar. "; // END editorial data
