Super Bowl….Super Pigout

Posted: January 31, 2020 at 6:28 am

Super Bowl Sunday is more than the Big Game. It means Big Food!

How big? The health insights platform LetsGetChecked polled 1,000 Americans who plan to watch the game. The average fan said that on game day, they plan to eat:

• 2.7 portions of hot wings
• 3.2 slices of pizza
• 2.1 portions of fries
• 3.4 bags of chips
• 1.9 portions of chilli
• 2.4 burgers
• 1.7 sliders
• 2 hot dogs
• 2.7 portions of nachos
• 3 pieces of fried chicken
• 1.8 ribs
• 1.7 sausages
• 1.6 slices of cake
• 1.8 brownies
• 1.8 bowls of ice cream
• 2.3 portions of salad
• 2.1 subs
• 1.7 bags of sweets
• 1.9 bars of chocolate

Add up the damage and we’re talking almost 11,000 calories — more than five times what the average American should consume in a day. And they’re not good calories, either. This binge packs 180 grams of saturated fat. (PRNewswire)
