Tip - Grilling Healthy

Cookouts don't have to be pig-outs. In fact, grilling may be one of the healthiest ways you can prepare your food. “It’s a fat-reducing cooking technique, as opposed to a fat-increasing one like pan-frying or deep-frying,” says Steven Raichlen, author of Planet Barbecue! Just don’t think you can throw a giant slab of beef on your plate and lose weight. Portion control is key. “We tend to think of BBQ as a giant hunk of meat in the middle of a plate,” says Raichlen.
