Is Grilling a Healthy Way to Cook?

One of the benefits of grilling is that your food is not sitting in cooking oil, butter, or it’s own grease. So it is not absorbing excess calories from those sources.

When you grill food, grease and sauces drip down into the flames as your food cooks. You get the flavor without added fats.

Overall, grilling can be a healthy option for making a variety of foods!
