An average American watching the Superbowl will consume about 1,200 calories (and 50 grams of fat) just during the game. For some people, this is equal to the recommended number of calories to consume in one entire day! Preparation is necessary for you not to undo all the progress you’ve made on your weight-loss New Years resolutions–so, use these tips from Planet Beach to stay healthy on Superbowl Sunday without having to sacrifice a fun-filled afternoon of friends, snacks, and football.

Be active before the game

This Sunday, the game won’t be starting until 6:30pm EST, giving you ample time to hit the gym no matter which time zone you live in. To kick-start your metabolism as much as possible before the festivities (and calorie binging) begin, do an interval cardio workout.  Interval training is when you vary your speed and intensity during a shorter workout, usually lasting about half an hour. This type of workout actually builds up your oxygen capacity while exercising, burns calories, and even produces a post-workout effect that leaves your metabolism operating at a higher level of efficiency for hours after you’re done exercising—allowing you to partake in Superbowl fun guilt-free.

Don’t go to the game starving

Have a healthy meal or two before the game that’s packed with nutrients and be sure to take a PB Enrich Multivitamin pack with your meal, so you can maximize vitamin absorption. The rest of the world is probably not on the same page as you when it comes to choosing nutritious snack alternatives (I mean are carrot sticks vs BBQ wings even really a choice?), but you are more likely to control your portions and not binge on calorie-packed, low-nutrient snacks if you aren’t starving when the party starts.

BYOS—bring your own snacks

What kind of foods do you expect to see at a Superbowl party? Nachos, pizza, wings, fries, and chips all come to mind. Giving into temptation could ruin your calorie intake for the entire week, but asking someone not to snack on Superbowl Sunday is like asking Marshawn Lynch to give up Skittles. Come prepared with some of your own snacks like this one!

 Alternate with water

Superbowl parties are usually filled not only with massive spreads of food, but also massive amounts of beer drinking. Be mindful of the amount of liquid calories and carbs you are taking in during the day and try to alternate every alcoholic drink with a glass of water. This will help you battle bloat and keep you hydrated, so you don’t need to worry about a post-Superbowl hangover at work on Monday.

 Sweat out your calories after the game

The day after the game, make some time to visit the SlimCapsule or SauntaTox at your local Planet Beach to sweat out all the toxins from the previous day and burn off some of the extra calories. Both these services utilize dry heat to raise your body’s core temperature, allowing you to relax in a spa environment, while detoxifying from your indulgences during the Super Bowl.
