Snacks

While you may be somewhat aware of your meal foods, you can't sit through a Super Bowl (or even watch Super Bowl commercials) without talking snacks.

Food Fumble: One large handful Chex Mix or other snack mixes packs 390 calories. We were shocked a cereal-based mix could be so caloric until we saw the recipes calling for a pound of butter!

Food MVP: Pistachios or peanuts in their shell. We love these "activity" snacks as the shelling naturally slows you down. They contain good fats and stress-reducing crunch. One handful or ounce: 170 calories.
