Kick off summer without blowing your goals. In this episode, Leanne and Susie show you how to enjoy Aussie barbecues while keeping calories, carbs and salt in check — plus the truth about “everyday electrolytes” and a frank review of a trending high-protein pasta. We finish with easy, kid-approved breakfast ideas for fussy eaters.

What you’ll learn:

• BBQ pitfalls that quietly add 500–800+ calories
• The leaner barbecue blueprint: better sausages, smarter patties, chicken/seafood wins, and veggie sides that actually fill you up
• Portion strategy that stops the “sausage + chop + kebab” overload
• Social season survival: pre-event snacks that prevent grazing blowouts
• Smarter Hydration 101: when water is enough, when a hydration mix helps, and why most “electrolytes” are too salty for everyday use
• New from Designed by Dietitians: Hydrate (a gentle, low-sugar hydration range) — what’s in it, who it’s for, and how to dose after hard sessions, sauna, or gastro
• Product Review: the high-protein ravioli everyone’s buying — protein math vs. carbs, sodium and fibre additives; who it suits (and who should skip)
• Listener Q: fast breakfast wins for fussy kids (yoghurt pot bars, smoothie pops, egg soldiers, upgraded pancakes, freezer-friendly muffins)
