What are some good 4th of July Dessert recipes for people on a diet?
The July 4th holiday is typically a time when families get together to spend time outdoors grilling and picnicking. To make sure that there is something at the table for everyone, including those who are watching their weight, consider these ideas. Grill fish or skinless chicken instead of red meat. A six ounce serving of steak has about 500 calories. Grilled tuna has fewer than 350 calories in a six ounce serving. Or substitute veggie or turkey burgers for traditional hamburgers. Another lower calorie choice is the traditional hot dog. If you chose a low fat hot dog with bun, mustard, ketchup, onions and relish you can keep the calorie count lower than 350. Serve a green tossed salad with vinaigrette. Potato salad and other salads with a mayonnaise base can be loaded with calories. A one cup serving of potato salad has 350 calories.
