Grilling season!



It's summer time, which is awesome for so many reasons! 

The warmer weather means more time outside. Whether it be playing at parks, going for hikes, golfing or good ol' running/ walking. 

It also means that we can dust off the grills and start BBQing!


Here are a couple tips on Tasty Tuesdays for BBQ healthily:
  1. Grill a lot of chicken. Chicken is versatile, good source of protein, and the Vitamin B6 is good for energy. 
  2. Use spices and herbs to your advantage. Spicing up meat can help take away the need for calorie laden sauces and cut down on the sodium.  
  3. When choosing meats, keep this in mind:
    1. Fish or skinless poultry is best.
    2. Look for lean or extra lean for the lowest fat content
    3. 4 ounces is one serving size. So keep your meat serving to just that, then supplement your meal with a salad and vegetables.
  4. Do Kabobs, they are great because you can mix vegetables and meat!
  5. Make a tin foil dinner. Throw some extra lean ground beef and veggies in a tin foil and let it cook. Another great way to get some more vegetables in your diet. 
  6. Use lettuce for your hamburger bun. 
Happy Grilling!!!
