Ballpark food isn’t just about hot dogs and Cracker Jacks any more. Whether it’s the little league field or one of those new pro stadiums, food options have exploded (and so have the calorie counts). Don’t strike out — try these tips.

This deliciously simple dish is the perfect Memorial Day side. Amazingly, there’s no oil or other fat added to it — meaning it’s fat-free. Instead, you get tons of fiber from the beans, corn and other veggies. A touch of pineapple adds a sweetness to the combo, too.

Spotlight Recipe: Grilled Shrimp with Grapefruit BBQ Sauce
Why get store-bought BBQ sauce when you can make your own lickety-split? Homemade sauces are typically lower in sodium and you control the ingredients.

For some extra fiber, use brown rice or serve in a whole-wheat tortilla for BBQ shrimp burritos.
