Super Bowl Sunday is a HUGE day for eating. How huge? The average American eats up about 2,400 calories watching the Super Bowl. That’s just during the game. So if you consider other meals during the day, you’re eating more on Super Bowl Sunday than on Thanksgving. And if you consider the usual Game Day fare of pizza, wings, burgers, chips, beer, soda, and more – it makes sense. You’d have to run a marathon to burn off those calories.
