Choose grilled chicken
These sandwiches are a stadium home run, coming in at around 300
calories and with half the fat of a typical ballpark burger that can
pack up to 500 calories with 10 grams of fat. For an even healthier
choice, ditch the bun to cut down on even more calories.
Friday marks the Phillies home opener, which means the season of tailgates and ballpark food is upon us. Luckily,
Self.com
asked nutritionists around the country to share the best ways to hit
the concession stands without packing on the pounds. We’re sharing a few
of our favorite do’s and don’t’s, just in time for the big day at
Citizens Bank Park!
For the full list of the do’s and dont's of ballpark food, visit

Get cracking on peanuts
Craving crab fries or popcorn? “Opt for plain, unsalted, in-shell
peanuts instead,” says dietitian Amari Cheffer. “They've got
heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, Vitamin E and magnesium—and the act
of cracking the shell makes you work a little harder to enjoy them.”
Just remember a typical eight-ounce bag is much larger than a serving
size, so share with your friends!
Be choosy about beers
If you love a cold beer during the ballgame, there’s no need to deny
yourself completely – but it is important to remember to stop after one
or two 12-ounce pours. “Choose a low-calorie option like Amstel Light,”
says Keri Glassman, M.S., R.D. “Or sip a stout beer: Guinness
is another low-cal brew (25–30 calories less than a regular beer) that
also happens to be high in antioxidants.”
