How to eat healthier at Petco Park

Make healthy swaps where you can.

A few quick substitutions can help you reduce calories, fat and sugar without making you feel like you’re missing out.

• Instead of ordering double meat and cheese, opt for lighter condiments like mustard, onions and hot peppers to add extra flavor.
• Grab peanuts and sunflower seeds for great gametime snacks.
• Sip on unsweetened iced tea or make a slightly sweet Arnold Palmer by adding a splash of lemonade.

Try vegetarian and vegan options.

Use the seventh inning stretch to snag sweet and savory foods loaded with fresh fruits and vegetables. Fruits and veggies are high in fiber, which can help you to manage your weight and lower your risk of diabetes and heart disease.

• Hodad’s: Lettuce-wrapped veggie burger
• Negihama Sushi: Veggie roll with asparagus, avocado, cucumber and pickled burdock
• Sambazon: All vegetarian, vegan Berry Acai Bowl
• Seaside Market: Vegan and vegetarian sandwiches, salads, fresh fruit and juices
• Barrio Dogg: Veggie Dogg
• Board & Brew: Veggie Supreme Sandwich

Change it up and choose seafood over red meat.

Switch up your usual beef burger or hot dog for a leaner option. Fish and shellfish are great sources of protein and low in saturated fat — and there’s no better place than San Diego for an amazing fish taco.

• Blue Water Seafood: Grilled fish and shrimp tacos
• Negihama Sushi: Freshly made grab-and-go sushi

Pack your own food and drinks.

Get to the game on time by prepping your favorite sandwiches, snacks and drinks at home. You can bring bagged or wrapped food, bottled water, and milk and juice in sealed containers. You can also pre-slice fruits and veggies for easier snacking or try portioning out trail mix or popcorn to curb hunger without feeling overly full. Skip the lines, save money and get exactly what you want? That’s a win in our book.
