Two of the most popular New Year's resolutions are losing weight and eating healthier. But by the time the big game rolls around, many people are ready for a break—or looking for an excuse to cheat. But kickoff does not have to be a sig­ nal to punt your healthy-eating hab­ its. Registered dietitian Jodie Shield knows it can be a struggle to cel­ ebrate and stay healthy. She's put together some win-win tips and rec­ ipes — healthy and delicious — that are sure to keep fans cheering for more: — Know your game plan. If you're the home team (i.e. the party host), you get to call the plays. Serve entrees that are lean and festive, such as Touchdown Turkey Chili. Or prepare a thin whole wheat crust pizza using reduced-fat mozzarel- la cheese, tomato sauce and lots of sliced veggies. — Offer a starting line-up of healthier appetizers. Whip some • traditional game day favorites into shape. Instead of nachos, serve baked chips with salsa. Pass on the salt and butter and sprinkle a dash of Parmesan cheese over popcorn. Forget the fried chicken wings and serve baked chicken tenders sea­ soned with Hidden Valley Salad Dressing & Seasoning Mix. — Think fresh. Skip the super ^ subs and set up a sandwich bar with lean deli meats such as tur­ key breast and ham, low-fat cheese slices and prepped veggies — like sliced tomato and shredded lettuce — and low-fat toppings. —Pass on super big portions. No matter what foods are served, remember you don't have to eat the whole thing. Grab a small plate and load half of it up with fresh veggies and baked chips. — Get in on the action. During halftime, grab your guests and head outdoors for a quick game of touch football. You can always record the" commercials so you don't miss out.
