"Do you have a BBQ on the agenda for the weekend? A pool party? A backyard bash? I hope you&amp;#x27;re doing something fab with the people you love! Three tips on how to keep your eating on track while still having fun... Whatever you&amp;#x27;re doing this weekend, I hope you&amp;#x27;re having tons of fun! And, if food is on the agenda, consider these smart tips from fitness expert Jillian Michaels, who&amp;#x27;s working with PopChips (one of our favorite light snacks around here!), to share healthy eating tips: Choose a leaner meat: &amp;quot;Though beef burgers and hot dogs are traditional, choose a leaner cut of meat such as a tuna steak, chicken or white meat turkey, lean grass fed ground beef or flank steak, even a vegetarian option like a portabello mushroom is a great choice,&amp;quot; she says. Skip the bread: &amp;quot;Go bun-less and wrap a piece of lettuce around your protein.&amp;quot; Nix the booze: &amp;quot;Try to cut out some of the alcohol and drink non sweetened ice teas and water,&amp;quot; she says. &amp;quot;If you must drink go with a light white wine, or a vodka soda. Leave out all the sugar laden high calorie mixers like juice or sugar sodas.&amp;quot; And, a little P.S. from moi: Don&amp;#x27;t forget to drink two glasses of water before a meal--it can really help you eat less. Bonus: If you&amp;#x27;re drinking alcohol, it will keep you hydrated and feeling good. Do you already use some of these strategies? What works for you? P.S.
