Nuts and seeds offer healthy fat and fiber, while chocolate means it’s not boring. Plain nuts are best: “They’re often salted or sugared to add flavor,” says Matthew Ewy, RD. AT THE STADIUM
A Soft Pretzel
Baked always beats fried. Skip the cheese sauce and knock off the extra salt: “They add bad fat and sodium,” says Karen Kritsch, RD. Have mustard instead. AT A COFFEE SHOP
Mini Doughnuts
Bagels with cream cheese and muffins are full of calories and empty carbs. But, says Kritsch, four mini powdered doughnuts have just 210 calories.
Apple Date Cake Preheat oven to 350 degrees and butter a 9-inch springform pan. Bring 20 pitted, chopped dates and 1 cup water to a simmer. Cook about 1 minute. Remove from heat. Stir in 1 teaspoon baking soda. Whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 11/2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. In another bowl, beat 10 tablespoons butter and 1 /3 cup sugar on medium about 3 to 4 minutes. Beat in 2 large eggs, individually. Add 6 tablespoons peeled, minced ginger. Mix in dry ingredients, and beat until combined. Stir in date mixture and 2 diced sweet-tart apples. Pour into pan and bake 40 to 45 minutes.
