3 Guilt-Free BBQ Foods
Barbecue season's here—and as you know from seasons past, it can be a diet buster. But you don't have to let your enjoyment of the outdoor grill ruin your waistline; you just have to make smart choices. Read our head-to-head comparisons of much-loved barbecue foods and find out how to keep eating healthy this summer while still indulging your 'cue cravings:
1. Barbecue sauce or ketchup?
Healthiest pick: Ketchup. Not only does it have fewer calories and sodium than the barbecue sauce, but it also contains lycopene, which helps reduce cancer risk.
2. Hot dog or hamburger?
Healthiest pick: Hamburger. Even though it has more meat than the hot dog, the hamburger has fewer calories, fat and sodium. Just make sure the burger's no more than four ounces, and skip the cheese and bun if you want to save even more calories.
3. Peanuts or chips?
Healthiest pick: Peanuts. They have fiber, protein and healthy fat, and are much more filling than potato chips, so you'll stop before you eat too many.
