With Labor Day approaching, boundless barbecues are in the forecast.
But this doesn’t mean you have to abandon healthy eating habits.
The Wellness team offers these tips:
- Eat more veggies. Vegetables are packed with fiber and tend to make you feel fuller.
- Control your portions. You can add a combination of meat, fruit and vegetables to a kebab for a well-rounded and filling meal.
- Don’t forget the fruit. When it’s time for a dessert or a sweet snack, think about watermelon, cherries or pineapple in place of cakes and cookies.
- Mind the beverages. Summer is often a time for fruity drinks that have a higher caloric intake. Think about infusing water with strawberries, watermelon, lemon or mango to give you the same sweet flavor with half the calories.
