The culinary game at MLB ballparks has exploded in the past 20 years. Eating healthy is a challenge
Associated PressPHOENIX — Danielle LaFata’s been around major sports ballparks and arenas most of her adult life, so the nutritionist has one word of advice for those who want to eat healthy when attending a pro sports event. “Usually, I’m more of a classic guy, you know, like a regular hot dog,” Villegas said. Diamondbacks executive chef Stephen Tilder said Chase Field offers a handful of healthy options, but the top five sellers are almost always some variation of hot dogs, chicken tenders, popcorn, soft pretzels and nachos. It’s just making sure the menu speaks to what the fans want.” LaFata — the nutrionist — said there are some tips for those who don’t want to pig out while watching a baseball game. “Sure, we could do a bunless hot dog, or a bunless burger, and that might save 100, 150 calories if we’re looking to do it that way, or if we’re following a specific paleo or keto type diet and trying to cut the carbs,” LaFata said.
