If you've watched sports or listened to athlete interviews, you may hear some of the world's most extraordinary talk about getting into a "zone." When a person is in the zone, they're hyper-focused and seemingly impossible to stop. You may also feel that way when you're working out.

However, the type of mental zone that wins championships and helps you complete an extra rep is separate from zone training, which is buzzy on social media and fitness apps nowadays. You can just browse through services like Peloton and TikTok, and you'll likely get advice on zone workout plans. Zone 2 training is particularly buzzing.

The summer barbecue season is something of a trip. On one hand, there are messages — albeit toxic ones — about looking a certain way in a swimsuit (now would be a good time to remind everyone that every body is a swimsuit body). Conversely, summer soirees are often full of foods that don't quite make the cut on the relatively loose Mediterranean diet. Finding healthy grilling ideas can be a challenge.
"Summer BBQs can be tricky if you're trying to eat healthily," said Beata Rydyger, BSc, RHN, a registered nutritionist and contributor to HPVHUB. "Often, the foods are high in calories and heavily processed, with lots of sugar in sauces and snacks, as well sodium and preservatives."
To be clear, there's nothing wrong with having these foods if you want—whether you have them every once in a while or opt for them all summer. However, you may also have health and fitness goals and be looking for ways to enjoy yourself while maintaining what most dietitians and doctors would consider a "nutritious" diet. These healthy grilling ideas will satisfy your tastebuds and help you hit your personal goals.
