Make healthy snacks for Super Bowl XLVII

Some experts say that a typical Super Bowl viewer consumes nearly 2000 calories while watching the game. To burn that off, a 150 pound adult would have to run on the treadmill for 2.5 hours at 7 miles per hour. Ugh, wouldn't it be better to just eat better food during Super Bowl XLVII? It's not as hard as you might think, it just takes a little preparation.

Here are a few of my favorite snacks. My recommendation? On Saturday, make the Chicken, Bacon and Apple sausage. Then serve sliders and veggies during the game on Sunday.

And if you overdo it anyway, don't bother trying to burn off the calories in one exercise session. Schedule a few high intensity interval sessions into your regular workout routine over the next few weeks and that should take care of it.
