The average meal at a sit-down restaurant will set you back more than 1,000 calories, 151 percent of your daily sodium, and 89 percent of your daily fat, finds a recent study. We know what you're thinking: Eeeeeeek!

I don't know about you guys, but I'm hightailing it out of the city on Friday and spending my three-day weekend in the woods. It's a tradition with my group of friends to find a cabin or a campground upstate and just enjoy the great outdoors for a few days, hiking and grilling and cooking over a campfire; after all, Memorial Day is the big kick-off weekend for summer camping in many parts of the country.

With Memorial Day right around the corner, it's time to really start planning for your best summer ever (and don't worry -- it's not too late to get that bikini bod whipped into shape!) And what better way to ring in the season of warm temperatures, starlit nights, backyard barbecues and pool parties than a light and fruity cocktail recipe?

Casual meets fine dining at Bravo Cucina Italiana where they're dishing out made-to-order Italian-style fare from house-made pastas to flatbreads to salads and fresh seafood. And while calorie-laden dishes definitely lurk on the menu, Bravo has some pretty fab lighter options -- and even a gluten-free menu! -- that'll please your taste buds and your waistline. To keep things on the skinnier side in general, opt for whole-wheat pasta instead of the refined white kind, and choose extra virgin olive oil in your sauce over heavy cream or butter. Below, my three favorite healthy dishes.

You know I'm a minimalist, right? I'm all for the does-it-all, easy-but-effective, buy-one-and-done products that fit in an overnight bag, so when I spotted the new Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition Miracle Dry Oil, I was instantly curious.

Interval training rocks and while I KNOW it's good for me, high-intensity interval training (HIIT) classes kinda freak me out, so when I walked in to The Fhitting Room, NYC's first boutique HIIT studio, I couldn't stop my knees from shaking. After I realized that the studio had a sprung floor and you know, that's why my knees were shaking, I finally calmed down a little bit.

Step aside, romaine -- there's a new Queen Green in town. Kale earns exceptional marks in our books as it's filled with cancer-fighting antioxidants and nutrients ranging from vitamin A, C, and K to fiber, protein and calcium. Kale also contains lutein and zeaxanthin, two compounds that promote eye health, too. Basically, this superstar veggie is literally one of the healthiest foods on the planet. We challenged two celeb chefs, Alex Guarnaschelli and Mark Bittman, to make us love kale -- and we have to say, they made us believers. We loved Alex's Kale and Watercress Soup, but we really can't stop thinking about Mark's Kale Sandwich with Avocado, pictured here. Want more kale in your life? Try one of these three recipes, pronto.
