Diet-Proof Your Barbeque

Joseph Coupal - Friday, September 02, 2011

By Heather Hawk

Labor Day weekend is the perfect excuse for a cookout!

Grilling outdoors can be a healthy option for tasty meals but beware of the condiments you use to top of the main course. The little squirts and spoonfuls can add up if you’re not careful. The numbers below show you how these popular barbeque extras pack in the calories per tablespoon:

  • Butter - 102 calories, 12 grams of fat
  • Mayo - 100 calories, 11 grams of fat
  • Ranch dip – 60 calories, 6 grams of fat
  • Barbeque sauce – 26 calories, 0 grams of fat
  • Guacamole – 25 calories, 2 grams of fat
  • Ketchup – 15 calories, 0 grams of fat
  • Pickle relish – 14 calories, 0 grams of fat
  • Mustard – 10 calories, 1 gram of fat
  • Salsa – 4 calories, 0 grams of fat

When it comes to food, making several little healthy choices can have a big impact! Make the most of the your meal and choose your condiments wisely!
