Any healthy eating bbq foods you can suggest?

What foods should I be eating at barbecues?! I try to avoid bread and sausages and eat veggies but sometimes this isn't possible! Any tips on what I should and shouldn't eat? Thank you!

My top tips would be to ditch meat 'products' and go for fresh meats instead. In other words pork chops instead of sausages and steak instead of burgers. Lower calorie, healthier options, also include chicken, prawn and vegetable kebabs and corn on the cob (minus the lashings of butter!). Instead of frying onions you can bake them in onions in foil over the coals. Don't forget quorn products which can make good low fat and calorie meat alternatives too. Leafy salads are the ideal thing to fill your plate (stick to low fat dressings) and bake Vivaldi variety potatoes which taste creamy even without butter. Plain breads are the type to go for (say no to garlic bread and foccacia). Fruit is also great barbecued - try pineapples with a little brown sugar for a treat
