3. Hot dogs vs. Chicken and Fish
It’s no secret that processed meats are loaded with sodium. What causes bloat? Salt! Hot dogs, brats, and sausages may be quick and easy, but consuming them will also fast-track you to rocking an unsightly bloat baby. Instead, opt for natural meat like chicken and fish. Both options are lean, full of protein, and just as delicious wrapped in lettuce (so ditch the bun).
Next time you hit the grill, try this:
Ingredients
1 tablespoon Kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 pounds whole chicken wings
1 tablespoon garlic powder
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/3 cup hot sauce
1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 Tablespoon honey
Directions
Preheat a gas grill to medium heat (about 350 degrees). Then combine salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a small bowl. Next, toss wings in mixture to evenly coat. Place wings on the grill, crowding them together. Flip every 5 minutes, for a total of 20 minutes.
For the sauce, heat butter, hot sauce, vinegar, and honey in a saucepan over low heat and whisk. Toss cooked wings in the sauce. Then turn heat up on the grill to medium-high. Use tongs to remove wings from sauce and place back on the grill. Finally, cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes on each side until the skins are crispy.
