1 burger = 120 calories, 2.5g fat, 14g carbs, 3g fiber, 12g protein
Probably the best vegetarian-friendly BBQ-style veggie patty out there. It's a good size, it's packed with soy, grains and veggies, and it has that "right off the grill" flavor already. We figure that putting it on an ACTUAL grill couldn't hurt, though. Load this patty up with veggies and condiments, and chow down.
Guiltless Gourmet Yellow Corn Tortilla Chips
1 oz./about 18 chips = 120 calories, 3g fat, 19g carbs, 2g fiber
There's no hiding from chips at a barbecue. They're going to be out -- in a bowl or bag, maybe multiple varieties -- for all to graze on until the grill fires up. The best way to go is to bring along a bag of these with fresh salsa. They're sure to satisfy any tortilla-chip-lover, and you'll have something to snack on while your buddy tries to get the charcoal going (which ALWAYS takes longer than it should).
Bush's Original Baked Beans
1/2 cup = 140 calories, 1g fat, 29g carbs, 5g fiber, 6g protein
Homemade baked beans are great. Thing is, we're control freaks, and we like to know what went into what we're eating. We trust Jay Bush and that wacky talking golden retriever of his, so we're all about chowing down on these beans. Love that fiber!
Laura's Lean Beef 96% Lean Ground Sirloin
4 oz. = 140 calories, 4.5g fat, 24g protein
There are some of us for whom going without a REAL hamburger at a cookout is just sacrilege. Since we don't really need all that extra fat, we're pretty into Laura's super-lean ground beef. The especially cool thing about Laura's company is that it's all about being eco-friendly and humane.
Barbecue SHOCKERS!!!
Think before you chew...
Fried Chicken
Isn't there always someone at the party who didn't feel like cooking and picked up a bucket of fried chicken on the way? Don't get sucked in! An average fried chicken breast has around 364 calories and 18g fat. Why waste so many calories on one item when there is SO MUCH to sample?
Potato Salad
So delicious... so creamy... and it better be, with all the starch and mayo packed into it! A 2/3-cup serving of standard potato salad has about 300 calories and 20g fat, and that's a side dish! It has the classic flavor you expect from a potato salad, but with one little twist. Click here and check it out for yourself! P.S.
