As FIFA World Cup fans prepare to enjoy the matches, nutritionist Roxana Ehsani shares essential tips to maintain healthy eating habits while indulging in stadium food. She suggests fans ask three questions to make better food choices. Firstly, inquire if grilled or air-fried options are available instead of fried items, which can help reduce calorie intake while still enjoying familiar flavors. Secondly, Ehsani recommends swapping white bread and dough for whole wheat alternatives, which are richer in fiber and nutrients. This addresses a significant dietary issue, as only about 10% of Americans meet their fiber intake needs. Lastly, she encourages spectators to load their meals with vegetables, aiming for half their plate to be filled with veggies, whether in sandwiches or grain bowls. Ehsani also advises consuming high-fiber, high-protein meals before heading to the stadium, such as hard-boiled eggs with whole wheat toast or a hearty salad with lean protein. These strategies allow fans to enjoy the World Cup experience without sacrificing their health goals.
