The Best Barbecue Foods to Eat When Trying to Lose Weight

LeVeque has one tried-and-true way to enjoy a sweet treat at the end of a barbecue (beyond going for a watermelon wedge or scoop of fruit salad, that is): She reminds herself of the stash of dark chocolate at home in her fridge. Knowing that she will eventually get her sugar fix—and that it'll be a lot healthier—helps her steer clear of the ice cream sundae bar or apple pie. If you just can't pass up a dessert, though, Blatner says s'mores are one of the best options, since they take some effort to make, which means you'll likely take more time to savor each and every delicious bite.
