<br>ASK HUNGRY GIRL 
<br>
<br>Hungry Girl, 
<br>
<br>A lot of products you LOVE (like Wish-Bone Salad Spritzers, for example) 
<br>contain high fructose corn syrup. I hear that stuff is really awful for you and 
<br>should be avoided at all costs. What gives, HG? 
<br>
<br>Sugar Shock  
<br> 
<br> 
<br>Dear Sugar Shock, 
<br>
<br>I write about living and eating in the real world -- figuring out what to eat in 
<br>any situation and doing the best you can every day. Everyone knows that 
<br>things like fish, lean meats, fruits and veggies are good for them. It gets a 
<br>lot trickier navigating the supermarket aisles for decadent foods and things 
<br>you CRAVE (which is where I come in!). In any case, since I'm not a doctor, 
<br>I called on my good pal Dr. Melina Jampolis (who is an actual MD, and a 
<br>nutrition specialist, and the author of The No Time to Lose Diet) to help with 
<br>this HFCS question. She says, "While high fructose corn syrup consumed in 
<br>larger amounts and in liquid form -- like non-diet soft drinks (which are pure 
<br>HFCS) and juices -- MAY have some negative health and weight-loss 
<br>consequences, having smaller amounts (less than 10 grams) in foods like 
<br>low-fat or fat-free dairy and BBQ sauce is not a major dietary issue." What 
<br>she says makes a lot of sense and is important to digest (no pun intended). 
<br>In the case of the Wish-Bone Salad Spritzers, those only have 10 - 15 
<br>calories a serving, so the amount of HFCS in each serving is MINIMAL. (HFCS 
<br>packs a lot of calories, so low-calorie foods in small amounts can only 
<br>contain so much of it.) Melina does think it's important for dieters to focus on 
<br>lowering overall intake of refined sugars, and not just focus on high fructose 
<br>corn syrup as the nutrition villain, which I think is great advice. Now maybe 
<br>everyone out there will be able to breathe a bit easier when they discover 
<br>their favorite 100-calorie pack or fat-free yogurt contains a small amount of 
<br>the stuff...

<br>Hi, HG! 
<br>
<br>My question is about the onion rings recipe you have. Can you use egg 
<br>whites instead of the Egg Beaters? Does it change the end result? 
<br>
<br>Ready for My O-Rings  
<br> 
<br> 
<br>Dear Ready, 
<br>
<br>Thank you for inquiring about my onion rings. (That's not a sentence you 
<br>read every day, is it?) Those rings ROCK and are definitely in my top 5 
<br>favorite HG recipes. You'll be happy to know that you can definitely sub egg 
<br>whites for Egg Beaters in that recipe. In fact, you can sub a LOT of things for 
<br>Egg Beaters when making those onion rings, or any of our "fiber-fried" 
<br>recipes. And since the egg really just acts as sort of a "glue" to help the Fiber 
<br>One stick to the onions, tons of swaps can be made, and you'll still have 
<br>great results. Here are some tips on what to dip your onions in before giving 
<br>them a roll around in the F1 breadcrumb sandbox: 
<br>
<br>For SPICY rings, use Frank's RedHot hot pepper sauce. 
<br>For SMOKEY-SWEET rings, use a low-calorie BBQ sauce (like KC Masterpiece 
<br>Classic Blend).
<br>For ZESTY, DECADENT rings, use fat-free ranch dressing. 
<br>For SUPER-SWEET rings, use sugar-free maple syrup. 
<br>
<br>Now I want onion rings... badly! If anyone out there has any more tips, feel 
<br>free to send 'em in. Thanks!!!

<br>CHEW ON THIS:
<br>Today, October 10th, is National Angel Food Cake Day. Typically, angel food 
<br>cake (which is made with egg WHITES and no yolks) is lower in fat than 
<br>other cakes. YAY!
