🇺🇸🌭 LABOR DAY COOKOUT — WITHOUT THE FOOD GUILT! 🥗🔥
From your friendly RD, here’s your reminder: You can enjoy the cookout AND make choices that support your health. 💪🩵
🍔 Build a balanced plate: Start with protein—grilled chicken, burgers, turkey burgers, or steak—and add plenty of colorful veggies. 🥩🥦🌽
🥗 Don’t skip the sides: Choose a mix of veggie-based sides, fruit, and your favorite cookout foods. You don’t have to eat “perfectly” to eat well!
🍓 Bring a healthier option: Fruit skewers, veggie trays, a fresh salad, or Greek-yogurt-based dips are easy crowd-pleasers.
💧 Stay hydrated: Alternate those summer beverages with plenty of water—especially if you’re spending the day outside. ☀️💦
🍪 Enjoy dessert! One cookie, brownie, or scoop of ice cream isn’t going to derail your progress. Consistency matters more than one meal. ❤️
🏋️♀️ And if you want to balance out the holiday weekend, get moving! Take a walk, play yard games, hit the gym, or enjoy some time outdoors. 🚶♀️🏈
Healthy living isn’t about saying NO to everything—it’s about learning how to say YES in a balanced way. 🇺🇸💪
Have a safe & happy Labor Day! ❤️🤍💙
