Healthy BBQ - Whole Grain Buns

I've talked a lot about healthier options to throw on the grill like Gardenburgers, Wildwood burgers, Tofu Pups, grilled corn and grilled veggies.

Now don't forget about those buns! You've got to do some detective work and read labels because many buns are made with the dreaded enriched flour, which means the healthy nutrients were stripped away.

Watch out for high fructose corn syrup, partially hydrogenated soybean oil and other cr*p you may find in your buns too. Don't be fooled by a pretty bun or a healthy name (like Arnold Select). Read the ingredients just to be sure.

Look for buns made with whole grains or whole wheat. These will taste better and be healthier for you since they contain some fiber!!!

Fit's Tips: If you can't find whole grain buns, go for some whole grain or whole wheat bread instead.
