<br>
<br>HG, 
<br>
<br>I love your recipes! Not only are they great, but I love the fact that you give 
<br>all the nutritionals. It is really helpful to someone who watches calorie and fat 
<br>intake. But how can I calculate nutritionals for my own recipes? 
<br>
<br>Recipe Ready  
<br> 
<br> 
<br>Dear Ready, 
<br>
<br>Thanks so much for the compliment -- and for emailing in that question, 
<br>because it's a good (and important) one. Calculating nutritional information 
<br>for recipes is actually a lot easier than you may think. It just requires a little 
<br>math (hopefully you have a good calculator) and some patience. If you are 
<br>any good at using Excel, that is a great way to organize your recipe 
<br>calculations (especially since Excel has a built-in calculator). All you need to 
<br>do is carefully record EXACTLY what you use to make your recipe (that 
<br>means the specific amounts of each ingredient). Then figure out the 
<br>nutritional info for each of the ingredients, either by using the info on the 
<br>package or looking up the food's info online in a database (my favorite place 
<br>to go is calorieking.com) -- this step requires your calculator, because you'll 
<br>need to figure out the info for the EXACT amount of each ingredient in your 
<br>recipe. Once you have all the nutritional info for EVERY ingredient, simply 
<br>add them all together, and then divide the totals by the number of servings 
<br>in your recipe, and VOILA -- you have your nutritional facts! It's not as 
<br>complicated as it sounds -- trust me -- and it's so worth doing. The only thing 
<br>that gets tricky about it is if you need to figure out how many calories are in 
<br>a tablespoon of something with a serving size that's given in ounces or cups. 
<br>So keep a handy conversion chart around to help make that part easier. 
<br>Good luck -- and let me know how it goes!
<br>

<br>Hey, Hungry! 
<br>
<br>First of all, I must tell you how much I love this website!! I was hoping you 
<br>might have an idea for a low-cal Reuben sandwich. It is one of my all-time 
<br>faves, but I know the typical one at a sandwich shop is way too high in 
<br>calories. I have been doing Weight Watchers for two years and am down 
<br>eighty pounds. I would love to find a way to indulge in one of my favorite 
<br>things without spending a ton of calories on it. Can you help?
<br>
<br>Seeking Reubens  
<br> 
<br> 
<br>Dear Seeking, 
<br>
<br>WOW -- congrats on your AWESOME weight loss. EIGHTY pounds! AMAZING! 
<br>Now on to your Reuben dilemma. Luckily, I have a few options for you. First, 
<br>there's our very own Turkey Reuben Sandwich, which was originally featured 
<br>in one of our emails last April. IT ROCKS. Click here for the recipe (and 
<br>you'll also find a couple more "manly meal" recipes there that are great). 
<br>Our Reuben only has 250 calories and a POINTS&reg; value of 5*, and it's 
<br>INCREDIBLE. Now, if you happen to live near a Jason's Deli location (which, 
<br>unfortunately, I do not!) you should check out their Turkey Reuben -- it's 
<br>made with low-fat Swiss cheese and 98% fat-free turkey breast, and it has 
<br>under 450 calories (and a POINTS&reg; value of 9*). I first had it while visiting 
<br>family in Memphis, and I fell in LOVE with it! It's HUGE, so you don't need to 
<br>eat the whole thing in one sitting either -- feel free to save half for later. Now 
<br>the key to making a guilt-free Reuben at home is to swap the high-calorie 
<br>fatty stuff (like butter, full-fat cheese, and regular salad dressing) for better 
<br>versions (like light buttery spread or spray butter, low-fat or fat-free cheese, 
<br>and low-calorie dressing). Go for lean meats (check the packaged deli meats 
<br>section of the store for low-fat versions) and a light bread of some sort (look 
<br>for one with 40 - 50 calories per slice and lots of fiber). Then indulge in the 
<br>guilt-free ingredients, like mustard, sauerkraut, and veggies like lettuce and 
<br>tomato. Hope this helps... and keep up the awesome WW lifestyle!
