The best part: You’ll save money.
Summer weekends at the beach, backyard barbecues, and outdoor dinners are finally here, but these gatherings are often loaded with high-calorie pasta salads, chips, ice cream, cocktails and beers. Enjoy your warmweather favorites while keeping your nutrition in check with the tips below. 1. DRINK GREEN TEA INSTEAD OF SWEET TEA. Green tea has a natural component that helps speed up yourmetabolism. Skip the box tea and opt for the brew-it-yourself with boiling water and a tea-bag-type tea. 2. SERVE SEAFOOD. Summer is the ideal time to get the freshest catch fromyour local grocer. Grill salmon, tuna, lobster, steamer clams, and calamari for a low-calorie, protein-packed lunch or dinner. 3. DON’T SKIP BREAKFAST. When you wake up in the morning, your body is running on fumes. Eating a breakfast with protein, carbs, and healthy fat kicks yourmetabolism into high gear and provides energy for the day. 4. ENJOY SUMMER FRUITS AND VEGGIES. It’s easy to sink into a vegetable rut, eating the same boring veggies week after week, but with summer comes fresh choices. Including amix of in-season colorful veggies in your meals gives your body a nutrient kick.
