Just because it is the 4th of July weekend, it doesn't mean you have to overindulge in hot dogs and hamburgers!
Radaronline.com has scored some tips from The Biggest Loser trainer Jillian Michaels on how to stay healthy this holiday weekend.
Chose a leaner meat - Though beef burgers and hot dogs are traditional, choose a leaner cut of meat such as a tuna steak, chicken or white meat turkey, lean grass fed ground beef or flank steak, even a vegetarian option like a portabello mushroom is a great choice.
Skip the bread - Pick a whole wheat bun or even better - go bun less and wrap a piece of lettuce around your protein.
