Speak Up: How Do You Avoid Overeating at Barbecues?
Hot dogs and hamburgers are comfort foods of Summer, and I'm sure by now you've eaten your fair share at all the barbecues you've been frequenting. Aside from those staples, grilled corn smothered in butter, potato salad, chips and dip, and cold beer are also favorites. With all this irresistible food, I'm wondering, what are some tips you can suggest to fellow FitSugar readers to help avoid overeating at the next BBQ?
Healthy Side Dishes and Desserts

5 Things: Grilling and Marinating Meat
Barbecue season is upon us so let's celebrate by grilling, since it's an easy and lowfat way to cook. If you're grilling meat, protect your health by marinating your meat. Here are five things on the whys and hows of marinating.
Good Buns Are Hard to Find
If you're trying to make your barbecue a little healthier by grilling up salmon burgers instead of ones made out of beef, don't skimp on the buns. It is easy to be fooled by ones that look healthy, but still have enriched flour listed as the first ingredient. As you'll recall, enriched flour is made when good old healthy wheat flour is processed and stripped of all the nutrients, and then companies add a little back in.

Food Review: Sunshine Burger
I'm so psyched for BBQs now that the weather is so warm.

Healthy BBQ: Grilling Meat at High Temps
It's barbecue time again, and I couldn't be more thrilled. I love grilling, but it's important to keep food safety in mind when firing up the grill. I always try to marinate the meat before cooking, in hopes of reducing the production of carcinogens, but the high heat can also produce chemicals with cancer-causing properties.

It's that time of year again to bust out the grill. Since hamburgers and hot dogs are a staple at most backyard BBQs, there's something you should know. The whole wheat buns you're buying may not be so healthy.
