<br>
<br>WEEKLY WEIGH-IN 
<br>
<br>Some of the world's healthiest foods can also be high in fat and calories. 
<br>Have no fear; HG is here with the 411...and some advice on how to 
<br>enjoy 'em!
<br> 
<br>
<br>Avocado
<br>(1/2 cup, sliced: 115 calories, 11g fat, 5mg sodium, 6.5g carbs, 5g fiber, 
<br>0.5g sugars, 1.5g protein = 2 Points)
<br>
<br>Why Eat It?  This fruit (yeah, it's technically a fruit - we know it's weird) is 
<br>loaded with vitamins, minerals, fiber, and healthy fats. Its high levels of 
<br>potassium aid in maintaining a healthy nervous system and protecting the 
<br>heart.  And all the vitamin E avocados contain boosts your immune system 
<br>and prevents blood thinning. Avocados ROCK!
<br>
<br>HG Tips!  Avocado is so healthy, that a little can go a long way. Whip up a 
<br>chunky guacamole-inspired dip by mixing a few slices with red onions, cherry 
<br>tomatoes, lime juice, and some fat-free sour cream.  Add mashed, canned 
<br>peas to bulk up your dip for fewer calories than a whole avocado.  Salt 'n 
<br>pepper it, and serve it up with some baked pita chips or veggies.  Need other 
<br>ways to enjoy our mushy green pal?  Spread a little on some turkey slices, 
<br>or dice a few slices and toss onto your salads.
<br>  
<br>  
<br>  
<br>Wild Salmon
<br>(6 oz. cooked filet: 300 calories, 14g fat, 100mg sodium, 0g carbs, 0g fiber, 
<br>0g sugars, 43g protein = 7 Points)
<br>
<br>Why Eat It?  Wild salmon is very high in Omega 3 oils, which are extremely 
<br>good for your heart.  Omega 3s have also been said to help prevent and 
<br>improve a slew of illnesses, such as certain types of cancers, asthma, 
<br>depression and more.  Salmon's also loaded with vitamins and antioxidants.  
<br>And wild salmon (caught from rivers & oceans --  we don't mean the fish 
<br>parties all night) is lower in fat and dangerous contaminants than the farmed 
<br>type.
<br>
<br>HG Tips!  Canned salmon (which is almost always wild) is portion-controlled 
<br>and contains less fat (3 oz.: ~ 80 calories, 2g fat = 2 Points), yet it's still 
<br>swimming with some of those healthy Omega 3s. Make ROCKIN' salmon 
<br>salad by mixing it with fat-free mayo or Hellmann's/Best Foods Dijonnaise.  
<br>Or you can throw some into your salad greens with low-cal dressing.  We've 
<br>heard good things about the ready-to-serve, pouched versions of Salmon 
<br>Steak by Chicken of the Sea.  Besides being portion-controlled (a whole 
<br>pouch is one serving), they come in fun flavors like Roasted Garlic, Mandarin 
<br>Orange, and Honey Barbeque.  And each of these 5.25-ounce filets has only 
<br>150 - 200 calories and 3 grams of fat or less (3 - 4 Points)!  We must confess 
<br>that we haven't tried 'em -- just letting you know they exist.

<br>
<br>       
<br>Almonds
<br>(1/2 cup, whole: 415 calories, 36g fat, 1mg sodium, 14g carbs, 8g fiber, 3g 
<br>sugars, 15g protein = 11 Points)
<br>
<br>Why Eat 'Em? Talk about a nutritional powerhouse!  Almonds are the most 
<br>nutritious nuts around.  They have vitamins, potassium, fiber, calcium, 
<br>disease-battling phytochemicals…you name it.  They've also been shown to 
<br>lower cholesterol, regulate blood pressure, lower the risk of chronic illnesses, 
<br>and even fight off osteoporosis. Impressive!  Looks like they do everything 
<br>except file papers and give you rides to the airport...
<br>
<br>HG Tips!  We're not gonna sugarcoat it, people.  Inhaling almonds by the 
<br>handful can cause your daily calorie and fat counts to skyrocket.  To get the 
<br>benefits of almonds while keeping those numbers down, check out Sunkist 
<br>Almond Accents (1 tbsp: ~40 calories, 3g fat = 1 Point).  Since they're sliced 
<br>super-thin, a little goes a long way.  And they come seasoned in great 
<br>flavors like Butter Toffee and Italian Parmesan. Scoop out a serving and top 
<br>off a salad, some yogurt or fruit.  Or try them in HG's healthy snack mix!  
<br>Look for 'em in the produce section.  Can't find 'em?  Just snatch up some 
<br>slivered almonds or thinly sliced ones and use 'em the same way.

<br>Dark Chocolate
<br>(1.5 oz. serving: 230 calories, 13g fat, 30mg sodium, 26g carbs, 1g fiber, 
<br>22g sugars, 3g protein = 5 Points)
<br>
<br>Why Eat It?  Chocolate IS good for you.  The rumors are true.  The 
<br>bittersweet stuff has been known to lower high blood pressure, reduce the 
<br>risk of clogged arteries and blood clots, and prevent heart disease and other 
<br>ailments.  So what makes dark chocolate so much better for you than other 
<br>types?  Higher cocoa content equals more flavonoids (the compounds 
<br>responsible for all that disease fighting).
<br>
<br>HG Tips!  CocoaVia's line of dark chocolate snacks is chock-full of those 
<br>fabulous flavonoids but not a lot of calories and fat!  Try their 80-calorie, 2-
<br>fat-gram Chocolate Almond Snack Bar for a double-nutritional knockout!  
<br>And CocoaVia's new line of milk chocolate snacks contains the same levels of 
<br>health-boosting cocoa as the dark stuff.  So even if you prefer your 
<br>chocolate light and creamy, you can still get the same health benefits.  This 
<br>heart-healthy line of chocolate is popping up at stores everywhere.  Another 
<br>option? Adora Dark Chocolate Calcium Supplements taste more like a snack 
<br>candy than a supplement.  Each of these calcium-packed chocolate discs has 
<br>just 30 calories with 2 grams of fat.
