<br>Dear HG,
<br>
<br>What is imitation crabmeat really made of, and does it taste just like the real 
<br>thing? Is it a good low-fat protein? What do you do with it?
<br>
<br>Real Curious 'bout Fake Crab
<br>  
<br> 
<br> 
<br>Dear Real Curious,
<br>
<br>Imitation crab is made of minced pollock (a mild white fish) that's blended 
<br>with many other ingredients -- things like sugar, sorbitol, wheat, egg whites, 
<br>are often used to mimic crab's natural texture. Flavors extracted from real 
<br>crab are often used to make it taste more authentic. Imitation crab tastes 
<br>similar to real crab, but I think they each have their own thing going on, and 
<br>I like them both. Fake crab is a little sweeter and less fishy, with a firmer 
<br>texture. A 3-oz. serving (about half a cup) of imitation crab has around 80 
<br>calories, 1g fat, 10g carbs, and 8g protein (POINTS&reg; value 2*). A 3-oz. 
<br>serving of real crab contains around the same amount of calories and fat, but 
<br>it has more protein (14g per 3-oz. serving) and no carbs. As you can see, 
<br>both are low in fat and calories and high in protein. (FYI, they're both pretty 
<br>high in sodium.) Of course, imitation crab is a lot cheaper and more 
<br>convenient than real crab. As for what to do with it, the easiest way to use 
<br>imitation crab is in salads. Just be sure to use light or fat-free mayo if you're 
<br>making a crab salad. You can also use imitation crab to make crab cakes, 
<br>wraps and burritos, egg-white scrambles, and more. And it's pretty good 
<br>eaten straight as a protein-packed snack. Click here for three crab-ulous HG 
<br>recipes, and try them with fake crab. The sky's the limit when it comes to 
<br>this copycat crustacean, so go for it!

<br>Dear Hungry Girl,
<br>
<br>I have seen pics of your cute HG tour t-shirts, but I don't remember seeing 
<br>them for sale or as giveaways in the emails. Can I buy one? If not, how can 
<br>I get one??
<br>
<br>Wanting a Tee
<br>  
<br> 
<br>
<br>Dear Wanting,
<br>
<br>Those t-shirts are not for sale and never have been. They were made in 
<br>limited quantity specifically for the "200 Under 200 Tour." But I have been 
<br>giving them away A LOT on Twitter and Facebook. So if you become a 
<br>Hungry Girl Facebook fan, or start to follow me on Twitter, you'll have 
<br>chances to win them. I tend to post a lot of quick Qs asking people for their 
<br>opinions on things, and I sometimes give those t-shirts away to people who 
<br>chime in. It's also not uncommon for me to ask people on Facebook or 
<br>Twitter to review 200 Under 200 over at Amazon (something everyone 
<br>should do anyhow!) -- sometimes I'll give tees away to people who write 
<br>reviews. Anyhow, the long answer is, follow me on Twitter and join the HG 
<br>Facebook fun, and you could win stuff (like those shirts). The short answer 
<br>for you is, I'M SENDING YOU A SHIRT. Congrats! BTW, if you want to 
<br>purchase HG goodies (like a very cute "Just Chew It" tee or an adorable 3-in-
<br>1 tote bag), click here and visit our store. Thanks for emailing!
