Hi Debbie, One day off isn't going to do any harm just as long as you get back on it the next day

I would think you don't have to blow the whole day. Plan your meal before you go. Request chicken breast no BBQ sauce, if you eat meat. If you don't eat meat bring a dish of your own like fruits or something. One thing I have learn is that you can't avoid life, food, and people! You have to fit your "diet" in your life and not your life in your "diet"! I think you all ready now what to do, you just need someone to say it out loud for you---Have a great time at the BBQ, remember it's about family and not food.

LIke the others have said, bbq meat is good and healthy, it's the sauce that can add on cals that you may not need. More importantly, watch out for those fatty salads, i.e. pasta and potato especially if they have mayo or heavy oil. But a bbq is supposed to be fun. For holidays, get togethers, pot lucks, etc., people really need to use portion control. Eat what you want just don't eat a lot of it. It helps satisfy cravings, keeps you social, and keeps the cals in check. Key is to have fun and know that you can't really destroy your long term goals in one day.
