5 Pigs in a Blanket = 36 Minutes Selling Food as a Stadium Vendor
According to articles on Boston.com and in The New York Times, the average stadium vendor walks 4 to 5 miles per game, up and down stairs, carrying a 40-pound bin. Each pig in a blanket is 67.5 calories for a total of 337.5 calories.
Fit Tip: Here's a low-calorie version from Hungry Girl.
1 Cheetos Crunchy Piece = 2 Minutes of Chanting, Pointing, and Waving a Foam Finger
Just one can be costly. Cheetos Crunchy Cheese Flavored Snacks are 7.14 calories per piece, or 150 calories per ounce.
Fit Tip: Try to limit eating with the game on and an open bag in your hand—it's a bad combination.
3 Slices of Pizza Hut's Pepperoni Lover's Pizza Works = 322 Minutes (More Than 5 Hours) Cleaning the Stadium After the Game
Three slices of Pizza Hut's 14-inch pepperoni pizza equals more than 1,320 calories (440 per slice).
Fit Tip: Get thin-crust pizza with veggies and eat it for lunch, not just as a halftime snack.
10 Sliders With Cheese = 363 Minutes Performing in a Marching Band
Sliders are small, one- or two-bite burgers. Each slider has 170 calories. That's 1,700 calories for 10.
Fit Tip: Make your own sliders. Check out this Hungry Girl recipe: HG's Queen-of-the-Castle Sliders.
1 Bowl of Chili = 73 Minutes of Cheerleading
A 16-ounce bowl of chili packed with beef, beans and assorted vegetables comes to about 550 calories. A few tablespoons of sour cream and some shredded cheese on top adds 150 more, for a total of 700 calories.
Fit Tip: Use ground sirloin or white-meat turkey, or make your chili vegetarian. Skip the sour cream and cheese or go for no- or low-fat versions.
