Score big with these healthy game-day eats.

No matter who wins this year, the real MVP at your football get-together will be this healthy "lineup" of all-star eats:

• For a real kicker, serve spicy salsa with homemade chips using corn tortillas or potato skins.

• Worried about maintaining your tight end? A bowl of steaming vegetarian chili will fill you up without the guilt.

Center your table around healthy dips like hummus (try this low-gas version), or mash up some eggplant for baba ganoush. (When following other dip recipes, use plain yogurt instead of sour cream.)

• For buffalo wings that won't turn you into a wide receiver, pass on the greasy take-out and opt for these low-fat and low-cal ones.

Guard your digestion and stay energized throughout the game with ginger and mint lemonade.

• Slice up a veggie pizza pie - this whole wheat crust will have them running back for more.
