Unhealthiest Frozen Game Day Snacks In The Supermarket Slideshow

Bagel Bites induce nostalgia for the good old days of Nickelodeon and Nintendo 64, but these pizza-alternatives are just empty calories. Seven mini Bagel Bites contain 400 calories and 30 percent of your recommended daily allowance of sodium.  

Want an over-priced, soggy, and flavorless chicken wing that hardens your arteries and raises your cholesterol? I've got the perfect game-day selection for you: T.G.I. Friday's buffalo chicken wings. Try some of these chicken wing recipes instead, and forget about all the frozen imposters.  

Louisa's brand of fried ravioli might be the unhealthiest game-day snack on this list. Each 2.6-ounce serving — most likely just one ravioli — contains 270 calories and more than 20 percent of your recommended daily allowance of fat and sodium. To cut down on the calories, skip the fryer.

The nutritional content for every product in the T.G.I. Friday's line of frozen appetizers is pretty much the same. The jalapeño popper is more cream cheese and breading than it is jalapeño. The mark of a good popper is a balanced cheese­ to jalapeño ratio.

These flat-out should not exist. T.G.I. Friday's Mac & Cheese Wedges manage to make something already not great for you even worse. One wedge is 240 calories. If you want macaroni and cheese, just make it from a box; if you're feeling ambitious, try these amazing homemade mac and cheese recipes.  

Freshly made mozzarella sticks with a side of marinara sauce are delicious, but their frozen counterparts are a waste. Farm Rich brand mozzarella sticks contain 180 calories and 4 grams of fat per two-stick serving. Mozzarella sticks are easy to blindly eat in large quantities because they're loaded with salt and are absent of any satiating fiber. 

Nothing says game day like pigs in a blanket, but these mini hot dogs are an abyss of processed meat and saturated fats. Five pieces of Hebrew National's Franks in a Blanket contain 37 percent of your recommended daily allowance of total fat. 

I'm going to stop picking on T.G.I. Friday's for a second. Totino's Pizza Rolls are little purses of scalding-hot bliss, and they're absent of any nutritional substance. Though not the worst offenders on the list, their bite-sized nature lends themselves to unchecked game-day binging.  

Frozen potato skins represent all that is evil in processed foods — not only because of their high saturated fat content and calories but because of their deceptive serving sizes. The label on a box of T.G.I. Friday's frozen potato skins says it contains five servings, but it fails to clearly state that a serving is equal to one potato skin.

T.G.I. Friday's Spinach Artichoke Dip is another misleading game-day snack. Though its calorie count seems harmless at only 30 calories per serving, that doesn't account for the vessel required to scoop it up. The small, snack-sized dish also claims that one serving is equivalent to 1 ounce, which is basically just one big scoop. Try making it at home instead — it's easy!
