LIVE Nutrition: Healthier Cookouts
Tuesday, July 18, 2017
Shira Hirshberg, a registered and licensed Dietitian Nutritionist with All Foods Nutrition says many people over-indulge in unhealthy foods at summer cookouts because of the type and amount of food available.
To help yourself establish healthier eating at cookouts, Hirshberg recommends bringing a healthy fruit or vegetable dish to the event that you enjoy.
She also recommends sitting down and having a balanced meal at the cookout instead of continually grazing all day.

Checking condiment labels is also important, Hirshberg says. Calories and sugar can add up quickly in ketchup, dressings, and barbecue sauce.
