Gearing up for all those BBQs, pool parties, and family picnics? Seems that at all of those events high calorie foods are being served… right? This doesn’t always have to be so!
According to WebMD.com, summer is one of the times people eat the most fattening foods. Although people are generally more active during the summer, the extra exertion may not be enough compared to all the fattening foods that are consumed. The top 10 most fattening summer foods are:
1. Red Meats- T-Bone steaks, ribs and cheeseburgers all have an exponential amount of fat and calories. Try leaner cuts to grill instead.
2. Hot Dogs- who doesn’t love a hot dog during the summer? But these are usually packed with strange meats that have little nutritional value. Load your whole wheat hot dog bun with a turkey dog or chicken dog instead, they have great flavor and half the calories.

What is your favorite way to quench your thirst, during summer? If it isn’t clear then you probably aren’t choosing the right kind of liquid. Summer is a time when you sweat a lot and change the levels of water within your body.
According to NYTimes.com, the heat of summer might tempt you to grab any ice cold beverage you find but steer clear of any sugary drink to keep from adding to your fat stores and putting your blood sugar out of whack.
Regardless of whether it is summer or winter you probably don’t drink as much water as your body needs. Calculate the proper amount of water for your boy by multiplying your weight in pounds by 0.08.
