Here is a question I recently received from FOODPICKER.org:
Every year in late May our friends & family has a large BBQ. Since I’m watching my weight and blood sugar, what types of foods should I eat more of and what foods should I avoid at my BBQ?
Answer: BBQs can be a great opportunity to take advantage of enjoying the outdoors and socializing with family & friends. There are many BBQ options that can be healthy and tasty! Consider these options for your upcoming BBQ:
- Grilling can be a very low-fat cooking method since fat does not have to be added to the food in preparation.
- Opt for skinless chicken or turkey breast and seafood (such as salmon or shrimp) on the grill.
- You can also grill vegetables such as summer squash, peppers, onions, and mushrooms.
- Go for a green leafy salad instead of heavier salads such a potato salad.
- Try fresh fruit for dessert instead of pies, cakes, or cookies.
