Lighten up your game day spread with these simple swaps!   **Beans** Beans will add more fiber and protein to help balance out blood sugar spikes. Whether you add a bean-based dip, hummus, as a topping to your nachos or mixed in with a meat focused mixture these are all great ways to incorporate more.   **Plain Nonfat, Greek yogurt or Cottage Cheese** Thick creamy sauces can add excess fat and calories so by subbing a lower fat, but higher protein option you’ll save calories to be used on other items on the spread while still giving you a great tasting product.   **Guacamole** Adding more plant-based fat is a no-brainer. Not only is avocado a nutrient-dense choice from a fat perspective, but also the fiber and additional vitamins and minerals. We love a good homemade version, but if you don’t have time, our fresh cut or yo quiero brands get the job done. Pair it with a bean based chip and thank us later!   **Ground Turkey or Chicken** Choosing a leaner protein might be the perfect play. In soups or chili the taste difference is minimal but the nutrition gain is taken to the next level.   **Mini options** Think brownies, cookies, sliders, meatballs and more! We definitely don’t want you feeling deprived of anything, quite the opposite actually, so if you’re bringing things to the party, bring the mini size or if you are enjoying someone else’s dish if it is too large, cut it in half or quarters.    **Fill Half Your Plate with Produce** Ideally, a plate should start out with half of it being filled with vegetables, especially with the big game. It’s a long party and you’ll need lasting energy to cheer on your team. Not only does produce offer vitamins, minerals and nutrients, but they will help you feel fuller longer due to their water and fiber content.   **Sparkling Waters** By alternating sparkling waters with alcoholic beverages, you take down the calorie load significantly and also help yourself stay better hydrated throughout the big game. - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) Topics: [Happy and Nourished](https://blog.unitedsupermarkets.com/tag/happy-and-nourished) ### Recent Posts ### Main Categories - [A Pleasant Little Kitchen (155)](https://blog.unitedsupermarkets.com/tag/a-pleasant-little-kitchen) - [Happy and Nourished (102)](https://blog.unitedsupermarkets.com/tag/happy-and-nourished) - [Eat Well Live Well (26)](https://blog.unitedsupermarkets.com/tag/eat-well-live-well) - [Chef's Counter (14)](https://blog.unitedsupermarkets.com/tag/chefs-counter) - [Day of the Dead, Día de los Muertos (8)](https://blog.unitedsupermarkets.com/tag/day-of-the-dead-día-de-los-muertos) - [Easter (7)](https://blog.unitedsupermarkets.com/tag/easter) - [Hatch Chile Season (6)](https://blog.unitedsupermarkets.com/tag/hatch-chile-season) - [Valentine's Day (6)](https://blog.unitedsupermarkets.com/tag/valentines-day) - [Mothers Day (5)](https://blog.unitedsupermarkets.com/tag/mothers-day) - [Hispanic Heritage Month (4)](https://blog.unitedsupermarkets.com/tag/hispanic-heritage-month) - [Back To School (2)](https://blog.unitedsupermarkets.com/tag/back-to-school) - [Cinco De Mayo (2)](https://blog.unitedsupermarkets.com/tag/cinco-de-mayo) - [Brunch (1)](https://blog.unitedsupermarkets.com/tag/brunch) - [floral (1)](https://blog.unitedsupermarkets.com/tag/floral) - [salad (1)](https://blog.unitedsupermarkets.com/tag/salad) - [summer (1)](https://blog.unitedsupermarkets.com/tag/summer) - [vegetables (1)](https://blog.unitedsupermarkets.com/tag/vegetables) [See all](https://blog.unitedsupermarkets.com/put-me-in-coach-swaps#) ![United Supermarkets](https://blog.unitedsupermarkets.com/hubfs/United%20Supermarkets%20Blog%202019/USIcon.png) ### Company Information - [About The United Family](https://www.theunitedfamily.com/) - [Careers](https://www.theunitedfamily.com/careers/) - [Commitment to Community](https://www.theunitedfamily.com/donations/) - [Sustainability Promise](https://www.theunitedfamily.com/sustainability/%20target=) - [Market Street](https://www.marketstreetunited.com/) - [Amigos](https://www.amigosunited.com/) - [Albertsons Market](https://www.albertsonsmarket.com) ### Guest Services - [Shop Online](http://www.unitedsupermarkets.com/rs/shoponline/) - [Order Gift Cards](https://www.unitedsupermarkets.com/rs/giftcards) - [Order Flowers](https://www.marketstreetflowers.com/) - [Take Our Survey](https://www.unitedsupermarkets.com/survey) - [Refill/Transfer Prescriptions](https://ecom.nhin.com/nhin/servlet/EpsEntry?CHAIN_ID=UNITED&STORE_ID=ALL&INIT=YES) - [Contact Us](https://www.unitedsupermarkets.com/page/contact) ### Resources - [Nutritional Info](https://www.theunitedfamily.com/nutrition/) - [Online Shopping FAQs](https://www.theunitedfamily.com/contact-us/faqs/#shopping) - [Email Online Shopping Support](https://www.safeway.com/contactus/contact-us-form/groceryDelivery/?bannerId=unitedsupermarkets) - [Rewards Program](https://www.unitedsupermarkets.com/page/savings/rewards) - [Email Rewards Support](https://www.safeway.com/contactus/contact-us-form/commentsAndQuestions/accountUpdate?bannerId=unitedsupermarkets) - [Product Recalls](https://www.theunitedfamily.com/recalls/) - [Coupon Policy](https://www.theunitedfamily.com/coupon-policy/) - [Privacy Policy](https://www.theunitedfamily.com/privacy-policy/) - [Terms & Conditions](https://www.theunitedfamily.com/terms-conditions/) [![](https://blog.unitedsupermarkets.com/hubfs/United%20Supermarkets%20Blog%202019/Insta.png)](https://blog.unitedsupermarkets.com/put-me-in-coach-swaps#) [![](https://blog.unitedsupermarkets.com/hubfs/United%20Supermarkets%20Blog%202019/Facebook.png)](https://blog.unitedsupermarkets.com/put-me-in-coach-swaps#) [![](https://blog.unitedsupermarkets.com/hubfs/United%20Supermarkets%20Blog%202019/Twitter.png)](https://blog.unitedsupermarkets.com/put-me-in-coach-swaps#) [![](https://blog.unitedsupermarkets.com/hubfs/United%20Supermarkets%20Blog%202019/Pinterest.png)](https://blog.unitedsupermarkets.com/put-me-in-coach-swaps#) Download Our Rewards App ![](https://blog.unitedsupermarkets.com/hubfs/Market%20Street%20Blog%202019/GooglePlay.png) ![](https://blog.unitedsupermarkets.com/hubfs/Market%20Street%20Blog%202019/AppStore.png)
