Tailgate Clean Eating

Football season is back in session and I am a happy camper. Nothing can quite describe the feeling of hearing that fight song play before the game surrounded by 90,000 of your closest friends. I'm hopeful for the upcoming season for both my Saints and LSU Tigers. We're headed off to LSU today to tailgate for the first game.

Do you love to tailgate? I know I sure do. Daquari in hand, good food on the table, friends to talk to... oh wait...new lifestyle, new tailgate? Can it be so? It's not as hard as it seems. You can still stay on your clean eating plan and tailgate with good clean eats.

Here are some great alternatives:

• Grilled Chicken instead of Fried Chicken
• Grilled Veggies
• Red Beans and Rice in a Slower Cooker with Brown Rice
• Guilt Free Chips
• Salsa (Store bought or homemade)
• Corn and bean salsa
• Guac-Faux Mole (From Protectivediet.com)
• WATER!!! You can do it and your body will thank you.

I encourage you to try this way of eating next tailgate. It will take some will power...okay a lot of will power, but you will be so thankful the next day that you ate clean, stayed on track and was kind to your body!

Here are some pics from our last tailgate.
