Attempting a 'healthy' BBQ tonight!
Discussion
It would be too tempting for me to eat the usual beef burger, 3 pork sausages and probably something else quite fatty every time the sun comes out!
As it's only Tuesday, but it's warm, I'm attempting to be more healthy.
I've just made some Turkey burgers, following this recipe: https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/turkey-coriand...
I hate Guac though so it might just go with some lettuce and onion. They're sitting in the fridge hopefully going to firm up a bit!
Also got these marinating in the fridge: https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/chicken-tikka-...
And to try and get some sort of sausage fix, I've bought these: https://www.sainsburys.co.uk/gol-ui/product/Produc...
Finally, I'll do the usual corn on the cob, but I suppose I'll have to use less butter than I usually would!
So, am I in for a massively disappointing BBQ or might I be pleasantly surprised that a vaguely healthy meat feast can still be good?

Quarter some bell peppers and roast them on the grill too.
A baked potato wrap it in tin foil and throw it directly on top of the glowing red coals for about an hour.
Doesn't work quite so well with gas? haha A baked potato wrap it in tin foil and throw it directly on top of the glowing red coals for about an hour.

Is it about health or weight loss? 
Come on, someone had to ask.
I'd just enjoy a normal bbq. Not that I'm averse to the occasional chicken fillet in a bun.
Luckily I'm not a big lad (yet) so I guess it's health. And the fact I would become a big lad if I ate the fatty stuff as much as I'd like! Come on, someone had to ask.

It can be good but not sure about your current recipes. Few I do, usually on coal but most would work fine with gas, maybe add a box of wood for flavoured smoke:
Asparagus as above, squash cut in half and pour jalapeno/butter on top, lemon brocolli, green beans with lemon, carrots with maple syrup, salmon fillet cooked on wood, chicken legs/wings cooked with vortex. The weber bbq book has a load of good recipes in
