Oh no. It's almost time for the Super Bowl, and you know what that means: your diet will be ruined. All those New Year resolutions to eat healthy and watch your portion size will fly out the window as soon as the home team kicks off. This year, do yourself—and all of your friends—a favor. Bring some nibbles to the game party that won't sabotage anyone's healthy eating plans. The Brookshire's seafood cove is the perfect place to find those healthy choices, too. Not only is seafood low in calories, but it's also full of Omega-3 fatty acids—the substances that help reduce bad cholesterol levels. So does that mean these football snacks are actually good for you? Now there's something to cheer about!
