<br>ASK HUNGRY GIRL 
<br>
<br>Dear Hungry Girl, 
<br>
<br>What are your TOP FIVE snacks of the moment? I need some low-calorie 
<br>foods that will fill me up and keep me feeling satisfied... HELP! 
<br>
<br>Snack Attack  
<br> 
<br> 
<br>Dear Snack Attack, 
<br>
<br>Hi! Great Q! Here are some of my current go-to snacks and why I like them 
<br>so much... 
<br>
<br>1. Egg scrambles. I am a PROTEIN maniac. I eat scrambles made from Egg 
<br>Beaters ALL THE TIME. I keep the calories down to 100 - 150 by using low-fat 
<br>or fat-free cheeses. And I keep it satisfying by adding lots of veggies. 
<br>
<br>2. Fruit salad or whole fruit. A heaping cup of fruit salad -- with grapes, 
<br>melon, pineapple, etc. -- is one of my favorite snacks. I also love Fuji apples. 
<br>
<br>3. Turkey slices and pickles. This is an old standby, and I never get tired of 
<br>it. I wrap lean turkey slices around pickles. I LOVE THIS!!! 
<br>
<br>4. VitaTops. I don't have a huge sweet tooth, but a VitaTop is definitely my 
<br>#1 go-to sweet snack. One of these 100-calorie treats is far and away THE 
<br>best thing to eat when you're craving chocolate or a cake-like treat. BTW, 
<br>the Triple Chocolate Chunk Tops are the BEST! 
<br>
<br>5. Soup. I LOVE soup, and I eat it as a snack A LOT. My favorite soups 
<br>include Progresso Light Southwestern-Style Vegetable (and pretty much all of 
<br>Progresso's soups!), Amy's Chunky Tomato Bisque, and CP Shrimp Wonton 
<br>Soup (YUM!).
<br>
<br>Happy snacking!
<br>  
<br> 
<br> 
<br> 
<br>HG, 
<br>
<br>How do you figure out the calories and POINTS&reg; value when you make 
<br>brownies or cake with just diet soda? I can't find the "how to" info anywhere! 
<br>Can you help me? Thanks! 
<br>
<br>Recipe-Challenged  
<br> 
<br> 
<br>Dear Recipe-Challenged, 
<br>
<br>No worries. This is an easy one. To figure out the nutritionals when you make 
<br>that stuff from just the boxed mix and a can of calorie-free soda, here's what 
<br>you do. Look at the box and see how many calories, fat grams, etc., are in 
<br>each serving of JUST THE MIX ALONE. Since you are only adding diet soda, 
<br>there will be NO added calories once your item is baked (despite what 
<br>the "as prepared" stats on the box say). So those numbers per serving of the 
<br>mix are the total amount of calories in 1 serving of the dessert you are 
<br>making. If you want a different serving size than what's given (for example, 
<br>it says "makes 12 servings" but you cut your brownies into 8 pieces), just 
<br>multiply each of the mix stats by the number of servings the box says it 
<br>makes. Then divide those totals by the actual number of servings you're 
<br>making. After that, go ahead and calculate the POINTS&reg; value as you would 
<br>with any other food. Easy, right? BTW -- I LOVE using diet cream soda with 
<br>cake mixes. It's sooooo good!
<br>  
<br> 
<br>HG Heads Up! On Monday we wrote about a new product that's been spotted 
<br>called Arnold Select Sandwich Thins. Turns out there's a 3rd flavor we 
<br>neglected to mention -- 100% Whole Wheat. Thanks for the bazillions of 
<br>emails about that, HGers. You're on it!
