Are you doing a Father’s Day BBQ? Or maybe Fourth of July BBQ? Here is Texas We BBQ for every holiday! So how can you stay on track while surrounded by all the “Bad” Goodies? Here are some tips sent to me by Nutrisytem . I love that they are so supportive and here to help me!
“Surviving (and Enjoying) the Summertime BBQ Season While On Nutrisystem.”
- Bring your “BBQ-esque” Nutrisystem meal of choiceà Nutrisystem’s Hamburgers, Chicken and Hot Dogs are great on the grill! That way you still feel part of the BBQ eating festivities while staying on program J
- Wheat rolls and buns à this way you give everyone a healthier option
- Following the guidelines of your grocery guide – create a garden salad with all your favorite vegetables with various dressings on the side. That way everyone can choose what dressing is best for them, but the salad also allows you to get in your add-in additions while on program J To make a complete meal, top with some grilled chicken.
- Grill some vegetables on the BBQ à Fun way to do this and to have the kids get involved, make vegetable shish kabobs! Then all that is left to do is toss them on to the BBQ and makes a great side dish (or condiment too!).
- Try to steer away from items drenched with BBQ sauce as this will only add in extra calories and typically is high in sugar and sodium.
- Make sure to have iced water on hand à Toss in some slices of citrus fruits (i.e. oranges, lime and lemons) or even cucumbers too. This makes it different and is quite refreshing!
- For dessert you can have your Nutrisystem Dessert with the group, but also have a healthy option such as fruit salad or fruit kabobs for you and your guests. The kids can even help out with making them J
I wish I would have know about this from the get go cuz its something I always wanted to try but was too chicken to do alone. Way to go for you!!
