Can You Eat Healthy at a Red Sox Game?

I'm not entirely sure. I haven't been to Fenway Park to see a Red Sox game for a few years. Tonight's game will be the first time where I have to be conscious of my eating habits. I used to get a couple hot dogs, a small pizza, popcorn with lots of butter, multiple beverages, and some sort of dessert, but clearly I can't do that this time around.

So are there any healthy options there? I'm guessing you can't buy a salad at a concession stand...nor would I want to, since it probably wouldn't be that fresh. Also, I can only imagine the laughs I would get as I sit in the stands and eat my dainty salad. Popcorn is probably a reasonably alternative, as long as I don't get it slathered with butter. One hot dog is decent...but will that suppress hunger? Maybe if I eat it slow.

Surprisingly, the Red Sox website has a list of its concessions and where you can find them throughout Fenway (Fenway Park Concessions). One of the food products is rather ambiguous: "Healthy Options." What does that mean? That could be anything...a piece of lettuce, a veggie burger, a fruit cup, couscous. I'll have to investigate that if I can. Besides "Healthy Options," the only other semi-healthy foods on the list are a chicken sandwich (don't know if it is grilled or fried), kettle corn, and water. We'll see how it goes...I can't afford a recovery day tomorrow.

Question for the reading audience: I woke up and weighed myself this morning and I was UP nearly a pound, and then I weighed myself about 90 minutes later, and I was DOWN around two pounds. I've eaten healthy all week...can someone explain to me what is going on here?!

UPDATE AT 2:24 PM: A friend sent me a link of a great Weight Watchers article regarding how to eat healthy at the ball park. Thank you Meghan!
