Heart Smart Minute Nutrition
Summer is here! Time for backyard BBQ’s with friends and family. Summer is a great time to try some low calorie Heart Smart Minute Nutrition secrets.
Cutting calories doesn’t mean cutting the flavor or fun out of food. In fact, you can eat healthy and still have a great time without sabatoging your fitness goals.
Check out these 5 Heart Smart Minute Nutrition secrets that will make your next BBQ sizzle!
Heart Smart Minute Nutrition Tip #1
Use Fat-free Vegetable broth instead of chicken or beef broth. You won’t notice the difference and can cut over 150cal, just from this simple substitution.
Heart Smart Minute Nutrition Tip #2
Remove skin and fat from the meat before cooking. Use sodium-free marinade to keep the meat tender and add extra flavor (I’m a huge fan of Mrs. Dash seasonings).
Heart Smart Minute Nutrition Tip #3
Use the Grill! It’s fast, easy, and low fat. The meat doesn’t sit in grease or fat trimmings, so you’re saving calories and getting that great BBQ smell.
Heart Smart Minute Nutrition Tip #4
Go High Quality. Buy organic meat, chicken, and wild caught fish. This guarantees no hormones or antibiotics were given to the meat, and the fish was not given corn. Also, use high quality ingredients such as extra virgin olive oil and good vinegars.
Heart Smart Minute Nutrition Tip #5
Trade in Salt for Fresh Herbs. You still get great flavor without the bloat. Also, try adding fresh salsa to add spice and flavor.
