Food-filled festivals—such delicious, but potentially high-calorie (high-fat, high-sugar) fun. Funnel cakes, French fries, and soda add up! If outdoor food festivals become your regular summer fare:
- Eat a light meal beforehand. It will help control your appetite at the festival.
- Bring your own street food: whole fruit, trail mix, canned juice, bottled water.
- Check out the options before you buy. Look for healthful options: fruit in a cup, a grilled turkey drumstick, frozen yogurt.
- Split an order of festival food. If you share, you share the calories with someone else, too.
- Gravitate toward festival activities that get you moving: interactive fun, walking to see craft booths.
