How to go to a BBQ and stay on your diet

That's easy! Bring your own food.

There are many things that you can bring to a BBQ that will be appropriate for the occasion and also appropriate for your "looking good naked" goals. Here are a few ideas to get you thinking. Remember to bring plenty and you will become the BBQ hero.

Salmon: Take a big ole' piece of salmon and cut it up into your preferred serving sizes. Season and wrap in foil or put it in a disposable baking tray. So when you get there all you have to do is throw it on the grill.

Shish Kebabs: Great way to get lean meat and vegetables in you. Which is pretty much all you need.

Foil Wrapped Veggies:

  • Mushrooms with a bit of olive oil
  • Broccoli with olive oil and garlic powder
You can also bring some pre made food like chili in a crock pot.

Some BBQ's you may not be able to bring your own food (No time to prepare, not appropriate, etc.). In those occasions I always try eat something before I go so if there is no healthy options I don't stray too far. My suggestion is to master one specific recipe so people will start begging you to bring it.
