At a Tailgate

Sit with different groups of friends. Instead of sitting on you bum for all four quarters, visit with different social circles scattered throughout the stadium. You’ll be less tempted to mindlessly snack.

Go potluck-style. It’s always easier to control what you’re eating if you’re providing part of the meal. Join a group of friends who are tailgating and volunteer to bring a salad or fruit salad, says Oz.

Skip the bun. Reality is, you’re probably not going to find a whole wheat hot dog roll or hamburger bun when you’re at a tailgate, so you’re probably better off skipping the simple carbs altogether.
