Most people enjoy going to the ballpark to eat and cheer on their favorite baseball team. However, soothing their appetite may cost them a lot of calories.
At Yankee Stadium, a oz. bag of peanuts has nearly 1,200 calories. One of their oz. souvenir popcorn buckets pulls in 2,473 calories. Some ballparks sell pizza-sized pretzels that weigh 2 lbs. A normal-sized pretzel sold at the mall has about 300 calories. One of these gigantic ballpark ones could easily behalf a day's calories. Of course, if you
share it with a friend or two, you could save a considerable number of calories. At a Michigan minor league ballpark, there is a burger sold that has five patties of beef. It
is served with a bowl of chili, corn chips,
sour cream, and a large bun. This burger has nearly 5,000 calories, which is up to triple the number of calories some people consume in one day. The burger has nearly 300
grams of fat, which is almost 5 times the amount of fat a person should have each day. This is equal to eating about 12 McDonald's cheeseburgers. If you are watching what you eat, it might be a good idea to try to stick with
eating foods lower in calories, or not snacking at all, while at a baseball game.
