Summer is here and most of us will probably attend a cook out or barbecue or host our own. While cookouts are great to spend time with family and friends, they might not be great for your health.

According to The Daily Meal, a single day of barbecue eating could total 2,652 calories!  Check out the information below on the calories and fat in your favorite cookout foods.

Hot dog with ketchup:                    315 calories/18.5 grams of fat

Potato salad (1 cup):                       358 calories/20.5 grams of fat

Hamburger patty:                            250 calories/9 grams of fat

Pasta salad (4.9 oz):                        370 calories/26 grams of fat

Lemonade (8 oz):                             98 calories/25.7 grams of sugar
*According to calorieking.com

To make it easier to say no to these unhealthy cookout foods, eat before you go so you are less likely to grab a plate full of food at the cookout.

If you can’t resist, be aware of your portions and drink lots of water. Water will help you feel full and can help stop the temptation of grabbing seconds!

  • First weeks of college are starting – throwing a house party?
  • Football season is starting – planning on tailgating with a group of friends?

    Adding the FUN to fundraising during one of these events is what Prevent Child Abuse America is inviting everyone to do!  A HOUSE PARTY to help raise awareness and funding for this cause.

    Healthy Families America is a program that is part of Prevent Child Abuse America (PCA), and before Healthy Families America opened a branch in Indiana, children in our community had to be reported as being abused or neglected FIRST before a family could receive support services.

    HealthNet‘s Better Indy Babies (BIBs) and Healthy Families (HF) Programs would love for your PCA America House Party to benefit them!! These two programs work hand in hand to make sure Indianapolis children ages
    zero to 5     AND their families have the resources needed for the healthy development and success in the first years of school.

    You can learn more about the great things being accomplished by our BIBs/HF staff by reading our introduction post here.

    What do you think about throwing a house party
    and fundraising at the same time?
