Jillian Barberie Reynolds - NFL Hottie Shares Her Stay-Thin Tips

Alright, it's Super Bowl Sunday. Do you have a game plan? I'm not talking about whether or not to run the option (that's a football thing, right?) -- I'm talking about the table of food that will undoubtedly be at whatever Super Bowl party you attend. How will you handle it?

I recently had a chance to chat with Jillian Barberie Reynolds, from The NFL on Fox. She knows a thing or two about maintaining her figure when surrounded by fatty football foods -- after all, she's been working alongside big guys like Howie Long and Terry Bradshaw for nearly 10 years. Anyway, she shared a couple of tips with me about navigating the buffet (and more -- you can read the rest at StyleList).

Dealing with diet-derailing football foods:
"When you're doing the Super Bowl like I've done, you know you're going to be in front of millions of people. Trying to navigate work and Super Bowl parties, you don't want to chow down because there's nothing worse than feeling fat on camera. It's pretty easy for me. I'm a big believer in not doing the snacks beforehand, or the hors d'oeuvres, and just going right for, like, the Super Bowl chili. And not having it with cornbread. And not drinking beer with it. I might have a glass of wine with it, but mostly I'll stick to anything high protein that people put out. I totally try to stay away from the chips. And if I do eat that stuff, I do it in moderation. If I'm working the Super Bowl, I'm really disciplined. If I'm enjoying it at a friend's house, I try not to stress out. I enjoy the food but try to do the high protein thing."

Her favorite football food:
"Turkey chili. Turkey chili! That's my go-to. The turkey chili I cook is the best because it's healthy and people like chili on football days. They like drinking beer and eating chili and cornbread."

How she works out when she's on the road:
"Workouts? What workouts? Yeah, no. I don't work out. I DO NOT work out. My husband had me go on a hike last week and I bitched and moaned the entire time. I'm not a workout girl. I'd rather control my weight with my food, through Nutri-System or high protein food."
