“Catching” Obesity: Women who hang out with overweight girlfriends can start to think it’s OK to be obese and are apt to gain weight. Men can be influenced by other men, even if they’re not friends. But between the sexes, there’s no effect. (Nutrition Action)
A Better Burger
If you’re grilling burgers for dinner, try making them ahead. Form into patties, stack in between layers of wax or parchment paper and freeze. You can make a lower fat burger by using a lower fat beef (round or sirloin or buffalo), and they won’t shrink as much and will stay moister, too.
How Burgers Stack Up
| ounces cooked | Fat (grams) | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| Ground buffalo | 9 | 200 |
| Ground chuck | 23 | 290 |
| Ground round | 9 | 192 |
| Ground turkey (breast) | 7 | 140 |
Cool Tool
We love the small spoon-size rubber spatula from AR+COOK. The ergonomic metal handle fits much better in your palm than the typical flat wooden handle, and the shape of the rubber head (heatproof, no doubt) fits between beaters and into small bowls like a charm. Plus, its vibrant orange color stands out among your other utensils.
