Whenever we think of barbecuing we always think of partying, holidays, and excess. But did you know that barbecuing is a really healthy way to cook? It tastes great and adds no calories to the food.

Believe it or not the least healthy portion of a barbecue is the buns we put the barbecued food on. Buns are high in calories and not particularly healthy or filling. Ditch the buns and you have a really great tasting, healthy meal. (Are hamburger buns really that necessary when eating hamburgers?)

When dieting you need to think “outside the box”

Just remember to go easy on your pocket book. You can’t have steak every night. But why not mix it up, chicken one night, hamburgers the next. Why not?

Throw some vegetables on the grill (like zucchini, squash, or corn) and that’s about as healthy as a meal can get. High density (filling) protein with vegetables.
