Hungry Girl Today: 09.04.08

WEEKLY WEIGH-IN

Wondering how to survive a trip to the Golden Arches? No sweat... We're
here to help!

BEST AM BETS

Egg McMuffin - 300 calories, 12g fat, 30g carbs, 2g fiber -- POINTS® value
7*

HG Tip! Order it without cheese -- you've still got Canadian bacon 'n eggs! --
and it'll total only 250 calories, 9g fat, 29g carbs, and 2g fiber (POINTS®
value 5*).

English Muffin - 160 calories, 3g fat, 27g carbs, 2g fiber -- POINTS® value 3*

HG Tip! For more flavor and less fat, skip the margarine and ask for
strawberry preserves instead. It'll total 170 calories, 1.5g fat, 36g carbs, and
2g fiber (POINTS® value 3*).

Medium Nonfat Latte with Sugar Free Vanilla Syrup - 90 calories, 0g fat, 22g
carbs, 0g fiber -- POINTS® value 2*

HG Tip! Make sure to order "Nonfat" and "Sugar Free" (and it never hurts to
double-check again once you get it). If they serve it to you with regular milk
and syrup, your drink'll contain 280 calories and 8g fat (POINTS® value 6*).

Bottom Line: Avoid anything with biscuits, sausage, or "Southern Style" in
the title. And Canadian bacon is one of the leanest meats you can eat, so
enjoy! Also, check out our SWEETS & SIDES! section below for another AM
option.



THE SALAD SCOOP

Premium Bacon Ranch Salad with Grilled Chicken (No Dressing) - 260
calories, 9g fat, 12g carbs, 3g fiber -- POINTS® value 5*

HG Tip! Ditch the cheese and you're down to 210 calories, 5g fat, 11g carbs,
and 3g fiber (POINTS® value 4*).

Premium Asian Salad with Grilled Chicken (No Dressing) - 300 calories, 10g
fat, 23g carbs, 5g fiber -- POINTS® value 6*

HG Tip! Nix the almonds and this salad'll have 230 calories, 4g fat, 21g carbs,
and 4g fiber (POINTS® value 4*).

Premium Southwest Salad with Grilled Chicken (No Dressing) - 320 calories,
9g fat, 30g carbs, 6g fiber -- POINTS® value 6*

HG Tip! Lose the cheese and tortilla strips for a total tally of 250 calories, 6g
fat, 25g carbs, and 6g fiber (POINTS® value 5*).

Newman's Own Low Fat Balsamic Vinaigrette - 40 calories, 3g fat, 4g carbs,
0g fiber -- POINTS® value 1*

Newman's Own Low Fat Family Recipe Italian Dressing - 60 calories, 2.5g fat,
8g carbs, 0g fiber -- POINTS® value 1*

Newman's Own Low Fat Sesame Ginger Dressing - 90 calories, 2.5g fat, 15g
carbs, 0g fiber -- POINTS® value 2*

HG Tip! If you can't avoid the full-fat dressings (or simply want to save cals
with the low-fat ones), only use half of the packet.

P.S. We don’t think the Southwest Salad even needs dressing!

Bottom Line: Always go for grilled chicken (never crispy). Don't forget to
factor in the calories in your salad dressing. And skimping on the cheese will
save you every time.



SANDWICH & BURGER BREAKDOWN

Hamburger (Single) - 250 calories, 9g fat, 31g carbs, 2g fiber -- POINTS®
value 5*

HG Tip! "Beef" it up by adding extra veggies!

Premium Grilled Chicken Classic Sandwich without Mayo - 370 calories, 4.5g
fat, 50g carbs, 3g fiber -- POINTS® value 7*

HG Tip! Ask for a regular bun instead of that Honey Wheat one, and you'll
knock the total down to 280 calories, 4g fat, 32g carbs, and 1g fiber
(POINTS® value 6*).

Chipotle BBQ or Honey Mustard Snack Wrap with Grilled Chicken - 260
calories, 9g fat, 27 - 28g carbs, 1g fiber -- POINTS® value 6*

HG Tip! Say sayonara to the cheese and you'll kick THREE fat grams to the
curb. Your snack wrap will then contain 220 calories, 6g fat, 27g carbs, and
1g fiber (POINTS® value 5*).

Bottom Line: Again... always grilled, never fried! "Big" and "Double" are as
bad as they sound. If you want something decadent, go for bacon or ranch --
not both. Just say NO to mayo. And don't order a snack wrap expecting it to
be much more than just that... a snack (they're not large, people!).



SWEETS & SIDES!

Fruit 'n Yogurt Parfait - 160 calories, 2g fat, 31g carbs, 1g fiber -- POINTS®
value 3*

HG Tip! Who cares if it's on the dessert menu? Order this thing for breakfast!

Apple Dippers with Low Fat Caramel Dip - 100 calories, 0.5g fat, 23g carbs,
0g fiber -- POINTS® value 2*

Vanilla Reduced Fat Ice Cream Cone - 150 calories, 3.5g fat, 24g carbs, 0g
fiber -- POINTS® value 3*

Bottom Line: Replace the standard fries or O-rings with one of these guys.
And if you're really craving fried foods, stick with HG's swaps instead!
