<br><br>Hungry Girl,
<br><br>
<br><br>I live in NYC and LOVE bagels with cream cheese. Do I have to give them up 
<br><br>if I'm counting calories? Any bagel tips for me?
<br><br>

<br><br>Dear NY Bagel Lover,
<br><br>
<br><br>Yeah, I've got bagel tips! If you want bagels that are low in calories and 
<br><br>you're not a total bagel snob (NY bagels are great, I know!), check out Kim's 
<br><br>Light Bagels and Western Bagel Alternative Bagels (each of those has about 
<br><br>110 calories). They both can be ordered online, come in lots of flavors, taste 
<br><br>great, and are low in calories and high in fiber. All excellent things. They're 
<br><br>not huge, obviously, but they're not too small either. Another good find for a 
<br><br>bagel fix is the Kraft Bagel-fuls line -- bagel-ish pockets with cream cheese 
<br><br>inside for around 200 calories each. If you insist on buying your bagels while 
<br><br>you're out and about, you're entering into another category completely. 
<br><br>Bakery-bought bagels typically have 350 - 550 calories, depending on how 
<br><br>big they are. And NYC is known to have giant bagels, so watch out. If you 
<br><br>scoop the dough out from inside your bagel, my guess is that you'll easily 
<br><br>shave off 100 calories. Your bagel will still be pretty high in calories, but I 
<br><br>say, save where you can! As for the cream cheese? Swap it out for a wedge 
<br><br>of Laughing Cow Light -- it tastes just as good but has way fewer calories 
<br><br>and fat grams. But if that's not available, at least opt for reduced-fat or fat-
<br><br>free cream cheese, and try not to use a crazy amount of it. My personal 
<br><br>favorite bagel treat? A low-cal, high-fiber bagel packed with smoked salmon, 
<br><br>sliced tomato, and red onion. Yummmmmmmmm!!!
<br><br>

<br><br>Dear Hungry Girl,
<br><br>
<br><br>I'm new to your site and would love to hear more about your old "no dry 
<br><br>carbs" rule that I read about. I KNOW carbs are making it hard for me to 
<br><br>lose the FINAL TEN pounds, and I need some info on high-protein breakfasts 
<br><br>and quick no-bread lunches especially. Thanks in advance, HG!
<br><br>

<br><br>Dear HG Newbie,
<br><br>
<br><br>Welcome!!! Nice to have you. Regarding my no-carbs phase, a long time 
<br><br>ago, I did give up what I call "dry carbs." That means I had no bread, pasta, 
<br><br>rice, flour, potatoes, etc., and I did that for one full year. It was sort of tough 
<br><br>in the beginning, but after a few weeks, I didn't even miss them. I do eat 
<br><br>those things now, but very much in moderation. I don't eat sandwiches very 
<br><br>often, I rarely eat pasta (Tofu Shirataki noodles are another story, though!), 
<br><br>and I go easy on the potatoes. Even when I go out for sushi (which is often!), 
<br><br>I order it made with just a little rice, or I stick with sashimi. For me, avoiding 
<br><br>that stuff makes it easier to lose and/or maintain weight. I'm not sure if it's 
<br><br>because those things are my "trigger foods" and cause me to eat more, or if 
<br><br>there's another reason, but limiting them is what works for me. Since I avoid 
<br><br>those things, it's easy for me to rattle off some breakfast and lunch ideas for 
<br><br>you... B-fast -- Egg Beaters scrambled with fat-free or low-fat cheese, fruit 
<br><br>salad, hard-boiled egg whites, and fat-free yogurt with fruit are some of my 
<br><br>favorites. (Greek yogurt has lots of protein!) Lunch -- lettuce wraps stuffed 
<br><br>with tuna salad (water-packed albacore with just a little fat-free mayo), 
<br><br>chopped salads packed with veggies and grilled chicken, "turkey roll-ups" 
<br><br>(pickles, veggies, and fat-free cheese wrapped in lean turkey slices), and 
<br><br>veggie burger patties (on a plate with some veggies). Okay, now I am 
<br><br>hungry and must eat... Byeeeee!
