5 BBQ Belly Busting Tips
- Use ground turkey over ground beef. It has more protein and less fat. Ground chicken will also work; however, it isn’t quite as hearty.
- Skip the bun. Opt for tomato slices or cut slices of lettuce to act as your bun.
- Stay away from mayo, BBQ sauce and ketchup. They are full of preservatives, fat and sugar. Mustard is a fat free and low-calorie condiment that also speeds up your metabolism.
- Add Rosemary to any marinades for the barbecue. It will help protect you against the carcinogenic effects of barbecuing.
- Keep fresh cut veggies and hummus in the fridge to act as a nice side dish. Skip the potatoes, potato/pasta salad.
