Guest guest Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 A very wise person asked me today, what foods would you recommend for Sporting Events, such as a Ball Game. If I were leaving from home, would pack my own program friendly food. If I was going after work or while out of town, would do the following: Buy Brown's - Such as Rivita, Triscuits, Mary's Gone Crackers at a super market. If I'm with a business group, I just tell them it's to manage my blood sugar, nobody ever questions that. While at the Event or Game, 9 times out of 10 Peanuts are alway's available. So it becomes crunch, crunch, crunch time. I also find with peanut shells it's better to wear lighter color clothes, makes peanut crumbs less visable. Thats what I do, what other suggestions do you guy's have??? Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 It depends on the sporting event, but a lot of big venues have decent vegetarian options. In San Diego, Petco Park (our baseball stadium) offers tofu dogs and bean burritos. If you bring your own brown, you're good to go. I have sometimes popped my own popcorn and brought it as well. (Popcorn doesn't trigger me as it does some people.) To be honest though, as I've become more and more committed to my program, I don't really snack at the ballpark anymore. I eat a program meal before I arrive, and then I drink water during the game.

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 It's been a while since I've been to a ball game. I remember part of the whole thing was getting a hot dog, pretzels, ice cream etc. Fenway park didn't sell any program friendly food, let alone good vegetarian options (aside from peanuts, which hardly make up a meal.) I think if I was going to a game that would span one of my mealtimes, and I wasn't leaving from home, I'd stop off at a convenience store or deli and look for something to bring with me. Or I'd bring something with me to work and refrigerate it until it was time to go to the game. The only ball park I've been to is Fenway park. I know there was at least one pizza place nearby, and they often sell greek salad so I might have gotten that in a pinch. If you needed more protein than the standard portion, you could probably ask for and pay for extra cheese. (although that would be pretty salty!)

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 Allison, Really like your ideas of stopping off at a convenience store, perhaps Pizza w/extra cheese, greek salad. Also reminds me of pre and post program. Pre program would get caught up in the food such as Hot Dogs, Pretzels, Cracker Jacks, Ice Cream. Now that the food is stable we don't really count much of the stuff available as food. And more important I've found that I can watch the event, enjoy the full event (Here & Now), being both sober and not stoned from the food.....

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 Bob, I was smiling at the wear light clothing for the peanut shells, LOL. Since I just went to a game recently with my dh and he was getting peanut shells on my black pants!! One thing though for me is that I need to keep step three stable and steady (peanuts and crackers wouldn't work for me for a meal). So I think if I was asked last minute to go to a game and didn't have a 'game' plan (smile, oh I'm funny, LOL) - well I'd do what Allison suggested and stop at a store on the way to the game and pick up what I'd need for a vegetarian baseball meal. I wonder what items you guys think could be found quick at a store on your drive over to the game that would be vegetarian and help you get enough for your meal? Any ideas? And of course peanuts with whatever other food I picked up would be fine. So you could still have fun doing the " crunch, crunch, crunch " <smiling> Warmly, Patti > > , " Bob " <yogabob7@> wrote: > > > > A very wise person asked me today, what foods would you recommend > for Sporting Events, > > such as a Ball Game.

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 Patti, Its so wonderful to have you a new member to Radiant Vegetarians... Reading your post made me smile. Sorry that you got shell crumbs on your black pants. There's also the salt residue which could also leave it's mark too. Eating before an event is a " good idea " , also bringing your own food is always a " safe bet " . If your familiar with the venue and know of any program friendly veggy options that may be " ok as well " . Love that Crunch, Crunch, Crunch Vibe....
