POSTED BY: Dana Lilienthal | July 03, 2009 | 9:58 AM

The 4th of July is a time for BBQs and fun and you can enjoy the festivities and eat right. 4th of july

Here are some tips to have a healthy holiday....

Enjoy lean cuts of beef, boneless/skinless chicken, or vegetables from the grill.

Snack on vegetables instead of chips and make sure any dipping is done in low-fat dip.

Make low-fat salads such as Asian-Flavored Coleslaw with Rice Vinegar and Ginger and Potato Salad with Fresh Herbs and Lemon

Stick to drinking water, unsweetened ice tea, or club soda. If you are going to drink alcohol stick to wine or beer because mixed drinks, especially frozen ones, can have up to 500 calories a drink!

For dessert stick to fresh fruit - try this Mixed Berry Salad with Mint which incorporates summers fresh fruits.

Have a healthy and safe holiday!
