Sitting on the couch watching anything for more than two hours cannot be considered exercise under any guise, even if you have one of those vibrating abdominal belts or a Shake Weight. Typically, game day comes with a bevy of delicious snacks including hoagies, chips, saturated fat-heavy dips, cookies, candies, etc. Combine limited exercise (sorry folks, screaming at your favorite player and living room victory dances don’t count) with thousands of calories in sugary, sodium-heavy snacks and presto, you have an unhealthy effect that even an extra 15 minutes in spin class won’t alleviate.

No need to be glum though, chums! The following list is a compilation of 11 game-day snacks that are simple to make, healthy, and delicious. So get excited, it’s game day and the people are hungry.
