3.Take Me Out to the Ball Game
Hot dogs and sausages are summer treats for many of us, but you might save them for baseball games. It’s not just about fat or calories — after all, you can choose low-fat versions. Most hot dogs, bratwurst, and other sausages are very high in sodium. Typical nutrition scores include:
Hot dog: 280 calories, 15 g fat, 1,250 mg of sodium
Kielbasa (6-oz): 330 calories, 24 g fat, 1,590 mg sodium
4.Mayonnaise-Based Salads
A small half-cup portion of typical potato salad has 179 calories and 10.25 grams of fat; the same amount of coleslaw has about 138 calories and 8 grams of fat. To cut calories, try making your salads with light mayonnaise; or mix mayo with low-fat yogurt, light sour cream, or chicken stock. Or why not try a German-style potato salad, using more vinegar than oil? Then toss lots of veggies into any salad to increase the fiber and nutrients.
