In honor of our boy Lance kicking ass and taking noms over in France - again - I'm posting a couple of recipes for healthier barbecue from his site, LiveStrong.com.

Now I love me some ribs and flame broiled marinated meat like the next guy, but according to the numbers they gave me from LiveStrong, a 3 ounce serving of beef short ribs is 251 calories and has 15.4 grams of fat, pork ribs have 103 calories and 8.4 grams of fat per ounce, and a single hot dog ranges between 170 -280 calories and has between 12 to 17 grams of fat.

Think of how much pedaling you'd have to do to work that off.

So, when you fire up the grill this weekend, try his Grilled Shrimp over Arugula, Corn and Tomato Salad instead. And rather than use traditional barbecue sauce, which is big on calories, use their Susy's Everything Marinade. It works on fish, chicken and steak. Lot of flavor. Without making you big enough to bend your bike frame.
