Cookout...

Just a little reminder for your 4th of July gatherings,  most experienced dieters know the basics of navigating a cookout - fruit salad, yes; potato salad, no.  But even the most diligent calorie counter can overlook a slather of mayo here, a triple squirt of ketchup there.  People think that if they just have a dab of something and eat it standing up it doesn't count.  Ha ha regrettably, that's not the case and especially during bikini season, it's better to get your fill from what's inside the bun, not what's spread on it. The good news: You can add so much flavor to your food for practically no calories.  When in doubt - you basically can't blow it with mustard! There are plenty of zero-calorie varieties to choose from, and even honey mustard, with its marginal amount of sugar, has just five calories per teaspoon.
