DID YOU KNOW Melbourne is the #1 city in the country for grilling meat, with Orlando following closely behind at #5? In honor of National Grilling Month, Health First’s Clinical Nutrition Specialist Jennifer Mazarredo shares her expert advice on CBS’s “Breakfast with Bridgett.” Mazarredo highlights the common pitfalls of grilling – high calories, fat and sodium – and recommends simple, delicious tweaks to make your BBQ healthier. “Removing the skin which is where the saturated fat is at, so that’s a good way to grill and then making sure you add your oil to the grill but not overdoing it,” she said while reassuring it’s normal to have some fat, but the goal is to choose a healthier option to make your grilling heart-healthy without the guilt.
