The Real Grill for Weight Loss
Grilling - a smart method for creating meals with less calories & fat content...
The Real Grill - No better time than spring to drag out that rusty grill and fire her up with snazzy, low calorie recipes made for spring time weight loss results!
The grill is a smart way to create tasty foods that are lighter in calories, as well as in fat grams - particularly when compared to fried foods. Let's take a look at a few examples of how fried can take an otherwise healthy food to Diet Hades in a Hand Basket - in a flash!
Potato Calories - 1 cup of potato in its raw natural state contains about 120 calories. 1 cup of fried potatoes contains about 425 calories. 1 cup of dipped and battered fries can contain 500 or more calories.
Zucchini Calories - 1 cup of sliced zucchini in its raw natural state contains about 18 calories. 1 cup of fried zucchini dipped in egg and then battered with cornmeal contains about 450 or more calories, depending upon how thick the batter is packed-on.
WOW! By keeping foods as close to their natural state as possible, we can save a plethora of calories, as well as fat grams.
While most Grill Kings throw meats onto the grill, don't forget the vegetables and that oh-so-important pot of beans that can be cooked on the side-grill.
In addition, when shopping for meat proteins, be sure to opt for lean meats and after grilling, be sure to remove visible fat and skin which adds additional calories and fat grams to the meal.
