Tips For Staying on Track This Super Bowl Sunday:
Plan ahead
Whether this is planning your workout, meals throughout the day, or how many drinks you plan on having, planning ahead is one of the most effective ways to provide structure and stay on track.
Get your workout in
Get up early and get your workout in! I promise this will start your day off for success, especially when you know you'll be lounging around all day. Aim for at least an hour in the morning or even a quick HIIT workout before you head out for the day. If you're traveling to watch the game elsewhere, try to get in a good workout before kickoff!
Drink water ALL day
If you plan on drinking throughout the day and night, it's important to stay hydrated. Make sure you always have a water bottle by your side and stay sipping all day! A good rule of thumb to follow is to aim for at least 1/2 your body weight in ounces of water each day. Alcohol dehydrates the body; therefore, it's important to combat dehydration with extra water intake!
Be mindful of liquid calories
Alcohol and sugary cocktails are notorious for their empty calories. This is essentially because alcohol calories carry much more weight than expected as they have little to no nutritional value! Liquid calories don't fill you up like food calories do... Aim for skinny cocktails, low calorie seltzers, or low carb beer!
Portion control
We all know that the second round of mac & cheese and extra wings are calling our name! However, it's important to stay mindful of the portion sizes you put on your plate! The best tips for portion control are to load up on the protein, increase volume of vegetables or salads, and to stick to a smaller carb serving.
Increase the protein
As mentioned previously, increasing the protein source of your meals and snacks is ideal for staying on track for the 4th of July. To do this, snack on high-protein snacks such as beef jerky, Greek yogurt, protein bars, or protein chips! As for the cookout, increase the protein source on your plate while also loading up on vegetables. This will help you stay fuller for longer and decrease likeliness to go up for seconds!
