Don't forget to trim all excess fat. Try kabobs instead of burgers. Alternate lean beef, chicken or shrimp with tomatoes, onions, peppers, etc. Pineapple chunks and apple slices also are great on a kabob.
Fresh vegetables are delicious and full of flavor when grilled.
Potatoes, corn on the cob, zucchini and squash can all be wrapped in foil and grilled. But go easy on the margarine or butter. Fresh fruit with frozen yogurt is an easy low-fat dessert with lots of vitamins and fiber. Watermelon, cantaloupe, peaches, nectarines, cherries and berries are all good summer options.
