barbeque restaurants


Barbeque cuisine can be very healthy because of the cooking procedures. Many meats are smoked in order to provide additional flavor, but be sure to order low-fat meats like chicken and turkey. Also, there are many sides to choose from, so be sure to select those that aren’t made with lots of mayonnaise or butter.

healthy dining tips

  • beware of “salads” at barbeque restaurants, as most are made with lots of oil and mayonnaise
  • although the dinner rolls are delicious, they are usually covered in butter—request a couple of slices of whole-wheat bread instead
  • order skinless chicken or turkey breast instead of pork or beef ribs, which contain around 33g fat per 4-ounce serving
