The Super Bowl is a favorite American event which most
people enjoy. What people eat during this fan event is astounding. Health Briefs TV takes a look at the calorie count during the Super Bowl.
A recent study states that the amount of food bought and
consumed during the week of the event adds up to 6,000 calories per U.S.
household. That’s the highest amount for one week in the year. The second
highest calorie consumed week is the week before the Super Bowl. That’s more than
people eat during Thanksgiving, another feast event.
This report does not include the amount of food purchased in
bars and restaurants or from food delivery services. The data was taken from a
study of more than 200 buyers in New York who shopped in the grocery store.
While most people try to eat healthier meals and snacks, the Super Bowl is one
day where all caution is thrown into the wind. The study does not include the
amount of calories from alcoholic beverages.
Health Briefs TV suggests making and taking a healthier dish
to a Super Bowl party. Hosts might want to set up a buffet style table and let
guests put their offerings on it. Walk around the table first and plan what to
put on a plate. Then choose a smaller plate instead of larger ones. Here’s
hoping your favorite team wins this year.
