Sum-sum-summatime...The season for grilling out is here! In fact, it`s almost July 4th which means hamburgers and hot dogs, potato chips and potato salad, cokes, homemade ice cream, etc, etc, etc. Like all American holidays, food plays a BIG roll in July 4th! And just because you are trying to watch what you eat doesn`t mean you have to skip the yummy parts of Independence day. Instead, try these few tips to avoid taking in an excess of calories you don`t really need...
*Nix the cheese from your hamburger or hot dog and save 70-100 calories!
*Skip the mayo on your hamburger or hot dog and save 40 calories!
*Choose water or diet soda over regular soda and save 140+ calories!
*Choose Baked Lays over regular potato chips and save 100+ calories!
*Choose baked beans over potato salad...this will provide more fiber, less fat, and and 100 fewer calories!
*Instead of filling your bowl up completely with homemade ice cream, just dollop one scoop and fill the rest up with fresh fruit or berries!...saves about 100 calories!
Last tip...add lots of lettuce, tomato, and onion to your burger to help fill you up without adding tons of calories!
