<br>Hungry Girl Today: 1.12.09 
<br>
<br>Spotted on Shelves...
<br>
<br>Special K Crackers - Special K, you are really branching out! The latest 
<br>release? Crackers. There are 2 flavors -- Multi-Grain and Italian Tomato & 
<br>Herb. A 17-cracker portion has 90 calories, 2g fat, 16 - 17g carbs, 1 - 2g 
<br>fiber, and 2g protein (POINTS&reg; value 2*). They come in both 90-cal snack 
<br>packs and regular boxes. We tried 'em -- they're super-sweet (almost like 
<br>biscuits) but really good. And the Italian ones remind us of sweet pizza. 
<br>Mmmmm! 
<br>
<br>Quaker True Delights - Our pals at Quaker have outdone themselves with 
<br>these brand-new, decadent, nut-packed bars. In Dark Chocolate Raspberry 
<br>Almond, Toasted Coconut Banana Macadamia Nut, and Honey Roasted 
<br>Cashew Mixed Berry, each bar has 140 calories, 3.5 - 5g fat, 23 - 24g carbs, 
<br>3g fiber, and 2g protein (POINTS&reg; value 2 - 3*). Heads up! The coconut 
<br>banana bar is one of the best snack foods we've ever tasted. 
<br>
<br>College Inn Culinary Broths and Bold Stocks - We had no idea that soup 
<br>base could be this exciting. These fancy new broths (in Thai Coconut Curry 
<br>and White Wine & Herb) and stocks (in Rotisserie Chicken and Beef Sirloin) 
<br>are FANTASTIC! A cup of each has 5 - 45 calories, 0g fat, 1 - 5g carbs, 0 - 
<br>0.5g fiber, and 0 - 7g protein (POINTS&reg; value 0 - 1*). FYI -- these are very 
<br>high in sodium, so if that's a concern, skip them or just use sparingly in 
<br>recipes as opposed to slurping 'em straight.  
<br>

<br> 
<br>HG BREAKING NEWS... Olive Garden and Red Lobster Spill Nutritional Stats!
<br>
<br>The infamous Olive Garden and the home of the crimson crustacean, Red 
<br>Lobster, have finally released nutritional info for their ENTIRE menus! While 
<br>both chains have been providing stats for their "light" menu selections for a 
<br>while now, it's good to know what else we can enjoy guilt-free besides the 
<br>pasta marinara and the same old shrimp cocktail -- and what to AVOID at all 
<br>costs! We did a little snooping and found some stats that may surprise you. 
<br>Those addictive bottomless breadsticks at Olive Garden have 150 cals and 
<br>2.5g fat each (POINTS&reg; value 2 - 3*), and a serving of that Alfredo dipping 
<br>sauce they're served with has a whopping 380 calories and 35g fat 
<br>(POINTS&reg; value 10 - 11*). Eeeks! But a lunch portion of the Garden's zesty, 
<br>veggie-packed Shrimp Primavera contains a reasonable 510 calories and 9g 
<br>fat (POINTS&reg; value 10 - 11*). As for Red Lobster, the Bayou Seafood 
<br>Gumbo may seem like a decent starter, but it packs a wallop with 470 
<br>calories and 17g fat per bowl (POINTS&reg; value 10 - 11*). Stick with a bowl of 
<br>the low-fat, 160-calorie Manhattan Clam Chowder instead (POINTS&reg; value 
<br>3*). For dinner, the Garlic-Grilled Jumbo Shrimp (complete with garlic butter 
<br>sauce!) is a great option with just 365 calories and 6g fat (POINTS&reg; value 7 -
<br> 8*) -- but stay far away from the Seaside Shrimp Trio with its 1000+ 
<br>calories and 58 grams of fat (POINTS&reg; value 25*). Click here and here to 
<br>view nutritionals for all the other items on the menus. And do it BEFORE the 
<br>next time you visit one of these places.   
<br>
<br> 
<br>
<br>Free Ice Cream and a Chance to Meet HG's Lisa!
<br>
<br>Sure it's cold out for most of the country. But that doesn't mean you should 
<br>pass up an opportunity to snag a FREE scoop of ice cream -- especially when 
<br>it's new, DELICIOUS, and guilt-free ice cream. Baskin-Robbins' brand-new 
<br>BRight Choices line is HG-approved! Check out the Premium Churned Ice 
<br>Creams in Vanilla, Milk Chocolate, Raspberry Chip, Butter Almond Crunch, 
<br>and Pineapple Coconut (the first three are light and the last two are reduced-
<br>fat with no sugar added!). There's also Fat-Free Vanilla fro yo and 
<br>Strawberry sorbet. Each 2.5-oz. scoop has 80 - 140 calories and 0 - 7g fat 
<br>(POINTS&reg; value 2 - 3*). To check out these flavors and get a FREE 2.5-oz. 
<br>scoop, visit a participating BR location this Thursday, 1/15/09, between 11am 
<br>and 10pm -- just bring proof of a gym membership and your scoop is free! 
<br>And if you're in or near NYC on that day, head over to the Baskin-Robbins at 
<br>140 E. 34th St. to meet Lisa (a.k.a. Hungry Girl herself) LIVE and in person. 
<br>She'll be meeting, greeting, and scoopin' from 12:30 to 1:30pm. Woohoo!  
<br> 
<br> 
<br> 
<br>The Buzz...
<br>
<br>New stuff at The 'Bucks! We're slamming the coffee co. tomorrow with our 
<br>zucchini nut muffin swap, so we're showing it some love today. Check out the 
<br>new tea-based drinks -- Full Leaf Tazo Tea Lattes and Tazo Tea Infusions 
<br>have arrived! The Lattes have just 120 calories and 0g fat (POINTS&reg; value 
<br>2*) per Tall cup made with skim, while the juice-containing Infusions have 
<br>190 - 240 calories and no fat (POINTS&reg; value 4 - 5*) per Tall. Don't miss the 
<br>delicious, antioxidant-packed fun. ***If you like itty-bitty burgers, you 
<br>should know that Burger King is test-marketing them at a few locations on 
<br>the East Coast. Looks like the BK has tried this before... check out this '80s 
<br>commercial for 'em we found. Classic! ***Ooooh, is Diet Coke in hot water? 
<br>Seems like it. The FDA issued a warning letter objecting to the name and 
<br>label of Diet Coke Plus, which describes the soda as "Diet Coke with Vitamins 
<br>& Minerals." Apparently, food or beverages called "Plus" need to contain at 
<br>least 10% more nutrients than similar products. We say you shouldn't be 
<br>looking to diet sodas to get your vitamins. Pop a multi and sip a Coke Zero, 
<br>instead -- it tastes better, too. ***Heads up! Next month TWO new and 
<br>awesome flavors of 60-calorie Jell-O Sugar Free Pudding Snacks will hit 
<br>shelves -- cinnamon roll and Boston cream pie. YOWSA!!! Okay, that's all 
<br>we've got... HG out!
