With Memorial Day around the corner, I can't help thinking ahead to summer. Summer ought to be the easiest time of year to eat low fat. With an abundance of fruit, from super-sweet berries to succulent watermelon, and a variety of veggies to use in all kinds of salads, there's really no excuse not to eat healthy. But factor in big juicy steaks, hot dogs, burgers, ribs, potato salad, chips, ice cream sundaes, not to mention beer and soda, and the calories and fat soon add up. Yet summer wouldn't be the same if you couldn’t fire up the grill, pack the cooler for a picnic, and celebrate Memorial Day and beyond. So find out how you can do all those things while cutting back on fat.
