<br>Dear HG, 
<br>
<br>I see that many of your recipes and food finds are high in sodium. And some 
<br>are super-high in sugar. How can you call these healthy? 
<br>
<br>Curious in California  
<br> 
<br> 
<br>Dear Curious, 
<br>
<br>I'm going to be completely honest here. Very rarely do I label Hungry Girl 
<br>food finds and recipes "healthy". I do this not only because a) I'm not 
<br>qualified to make that claim (I am not a nutritionist, doctor or dietitian), but 
<br>also since b) Hungry Girl is not a health site. Sometimes people confuse what 
<br>Hungry Girl does with what nutrition professionals do. But HG's focus is NOT 
<br>health or nutrition. HG is about real-world eating strategies. It is for the 
<br>masses. Hungry Girl as a whole isn't really for vegans, strict organic food 
<br>eaters, or the extremely health conscious. The main focus of the recipes and 
<br>food recommendations you see here is on calories, fat and taste. HG also 
<br>features high-fiber foods, because they're filling. In general, Hungry Girl 
<br>helps people make smarter decisions when it comes to eating foods they 
<br>crave. Another thing people should know: Not everything I write about 
<br>pertains to everyone. If you are a serious sodium counter, then many of the 
<br>foods and recipes here won't pertain to you. If you count carbs or sugar, you 
<br>might run into the same issue. But there ARE low-sodium, low-sugar and low-
<br>carb recipes and food finds featured in HG emails from time to time. And 
<br>when we find organic, vegan or all-natural products that taste great and are 
<br>low in fat and calories, we're thrilled to feature them. I encourage readers to 
<br>take whatever info they find valuable from Hungry Girl and use it -- and 
<br>leave the other stuff for people who find that info valuable. My desire is that 
<br>there be something for everyone here. Hope that clears things up.

<br>Hi, Hungry! 
<br>
<br>I LOVE Rice Krispies Treats! But when I make them I want to eat at least half 
<br>the pan myself! So I rarely make them. But I LOVE them! Do you have a 
<br>recipe? Or a portion control idea? How do you handle similar issues? 
<br>
<br>Treat Girl  
<br> 
<br> 
<br>Hey, Treat Girl! 
<br>
<br>For starters, I want to say that I agree with your decision to not make Rice 
<br>Krispies Treats too often if you tend to eat half the pan. I'm the same way. If 
<br>I know I'll overeat a certain food, I try my hardest to avoid it -- even if I 
<br>love it. It's safer that way. That's why I find myself giving away a lot of the 
<br>chip and cookie snacks that come my way. We get an average of 10 - 15 
<br>boxes of food sent to the HG office each week, and most of the time I feel 
<br>like eating EVERYTHING. Of course I DON'T do that, but every day is a 
<br>challenge. I do, however, taste pretty much everything (except for when 
<br>food companies mistakenly send us super-high-cal stuff not realizing what 
<br>HG is about -- I try to give that stuff away immediately). Ok, now on to your 
<br>other Qs. We do have a great recipe swap for Rice Krispies Treats. You can 
<br>find it here. As for a portion control idea -- your best bet would be to slice 
<br>the batch into portions and wrap each treat individually. Never EVER eat 
<br>them straight from the pan. EVER. If you do you are almost guaranteed to 
<br>overeat, so definitely avoid standing over the pan and nibbling! If your treats 
<br>are wrapped, you'll be less likely to eat too many of them. That's a little trick 
<br>that seems to work for me. Good luck -- hope you like the recipe! (FYI, you 
<br>can also find boxes of individually wrapped Rice Krispies Treats at the 
<br>market -- they have about 90 calories each!)
