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.

It's all about the veggies- Incorporate veggies into your meal whether its summer salad, extra fun toppings on your burger or a side of grilled vegetable skewers. Just be sure not to douse your food in dressings or condiments.
Snacking is ok - Just pick the right ones! Choose healthier snack options like popchips over fried potato chips.

Watch your alcohol consumption - Try to cut out some of the alcohol and drink non sweetened ice teas and water. If you must drink go with a light white wine, or a vodka soda. Leave out all the sugar laden high calorie mixers like juice or sugar sodas.
