PATRIOTIC POINTERS!

A BBQ refresher course...

* Avoid mayo-infused items. Cole slaw, potato salad & macaroni salad are all crazy-high in fat & calories.

* Stick with poultry. Chicken & turkey are great, but stick with white meat because dark meat can be just as fatty as beef.

* Skip the dip...and the dressing! Why not choose salsa as a topping for your chips, veggies, salads and meats?

WHAT UP, DOG?

Ok, everyone knows that regular hot dogs are HORRIBLE for you! They're fatty, high in calories and should be avoided at all costs. If you want to indulge in a dog, go for either Ballpark's Smoked Turkey Franks, Hebrew National 97% Fat Free Beef Franks or Morningstar Farms Corn Dogs. They're all delicious, healthier alternatives to the real thing.

WAY TO GO, WATERMELON!

Here are some facts about this wonderful Independence Day food...

* Watermelon is fat free, low in sodium and an excellent source of vitamins A & C!

* A two-cup serving of watermelon contains about 90 -100 calories!

* Watermelon is 92% water. Every part of a watermelon is edible, including the seeds and rind (eww).
