Hungry Girl Today: 10.02.09
Packing a lunch is one of the best ways to save not only fat and calories, but
also MONEY. Check out what we'd stuff in a sack if we didn't work in an office
where we're surrounded by food 24/7...
Sargento Deli Style Sliced Reduced Fat Cheese
PER SERVING (1 slice): 50 - 60 calories, 3.5 - 4g fat, 30 - 140mg sodium, 0 -
1g carbs, 0g fiber, 0g sugars, 5 - 7g protein -- POINTS® value 1 - 2*
Not crazy about fat-free cheese? Don't worry, you've got options. The best
choices we've come across lately are these slices of joy. The Sargento
people really know how to make some good cheese. They ALSO know how to
make lower fat cheese taste great. And talk about VARIETY! Try it in Pepper
Jack, Colby-Jack, Provolone, Swiss, and Medium Cheddar. Then choose
whichever suits your sandwich of the day!
Swanson White Premium Chunk Chicken Breast in Water, 3 Pack of 3-Oz.
Cans
PER SERVING (one 3-oz. can): 70 calories, 1g fat, 400mg sodium, 2g carbs,
0g fiber, 0g sugars, 13g protein -- POINTS® value 1*
We love canned chicken, but the whole "needing a can opener" thing kind of
makes it less than portable. BUT WAIT! You say there are cans of chicken
with pop-tops that can be opened easily without the use of bulky kitchen
tools? And these things come in 3-oz. cans, the perfect size for part of a
quick meal?! Well, that sounds like a GREAT brown-bag item. Don't you
agree?
Western Bagel The Alternative Pita Bread, Plain
PER SERVING (1 pita): 110 calories, 0.5g fat, 410mg sodium, 26g carbs, 8g
fiber, 1g sugars, 7g protein -- POINTS® value 1*
Love the fiber content of whole-wheat pita bread, but not so into the taste?
Friends, Western Bagel has a white-style pita for you, and it's got just as
much fiber as the company's high-fiber Whole Wheat one. This thing's also
just 110 calories and low in fat, so you can feel good about stuffing it with all
kinds of goodies (alright, not candy bars... but lean meats, veggies, etc.).
Woohoo! (P.S. We still really like the Whole Wheat version.)
Healthy Ones Thin-Sliced Lunchmeats
PER SERVING (4 - 7 slices): 60 calories, 1.5 - 2g fat, 410 - 500mg sodium, 1 -
3g carbs, 0 - 2g sugars, 0g fiber, 8 - 10g protein -- POINTS® value 1*
Well, you need SOMETHING to put on that sandwich or pack inside that pita!
We suggest finding this light deli meat. It's so tasty, it's 97% fat-free, and it
doesn't contain any artificial flavors or fillers. Hooray! Choose from Turkey
Breast (Oven Roasted, Mesquite, Honey Roasted & Smoked, and Smoked),
Ham (Cooked, Honey, and Smoked), and Oven Roasted Chicken Breast.
Layer it up with some veggies and Dijonnaise, and you're sooo ready for
lunch.
Popchips (New Flavors!)
PER SERVING (1 oz., about 19 - 22 chips): 120 calories, 4g fat, 250 - 290mg
sodium, 20g carbs, 1g fiber, 0 - 2g sugars, 1 - 2g protein -- POINTS® value
3*
We don't think we've given quite enough love to the brand-new varieties of
Popchips on the market. People... they're amazing. The Cheddar is the
perfect fix for those who long for Cheetos or cheese puffs -- these chips pack
some SERIOUS cheddar flavor and are a MUST for anyone who secretly
desires to lick orange powder off their fingers. And the Sour Cream & Onion?
A savory but delicate blend of spices with a totally creamy taste. These
things will impress even diehard chip-lovers. No wussy diet-food flavors here!
SpongeBob SquarePants 80 Calorie Mini Milk Chocolate Snacks, Peanut
Butter Filled Milk Chocolate
PER SERVING (1 package): 80 calories, 5g fat, 20mg sodium, 9g carbs, <1g
fiber, 7g sugars, 1g protein -- POINTS® value 2*
Words really can't describe how excited we were when we first saw these at
the market. And then when we tasted them... let's just say there was a lot of
dancing. But since none of that translates to the Internet, we'll do our best to
describe them. You get a packet of adorable chocolate pieces that look like
SpongeBob and company... and each one's filled with a perfect little smidge
of peanut butter. And you can eat ALL the little candies in the packet for only
80 calories. Feed your sweet tooth and inner child at once, and without
breaking the calorie bank! P.S. If you can't find 'em at the supermarket, try
Kmart or Toys "R" Us!
Mishima Clear Noodle Soup
PER SERVING (1 cup): 80 - 100 calories, 0 - 2g fat, 720 - 1,180mg sodium,
18 - 21g carbs, 0 - <1g fiber, 2 - 6g sugars, 1 - 3g protein -- POINTS® value
2*
If you're craving soup and you've got access to hot water, put away those
other cups o' noodles. This stuff is SO much better tasting and super-
impressive in the calorie department. It would make an excellent companion
for a light sandwich or salad. It comes in four flavors -- Miso, Szechwan
Style, Teriyaki Soy Sauce, and Thai Style. We like a little something to spice
up our lunch, and this stuff definitely fits the bill.
Bare Fruit Snacks
PER SERVING (12 - 18 grams): 29 - 64 calories, 0 - 1g fat, 0 - 17mg sodium,
8 - 16g carbs, 1 - 2g fiber, 6 - 14g sugars, 0 - 2g protein -- POINTS® value
0 - 1*
Those of you who are into the all-natural craze, get excited. These fruity
snacks are completely organic, no-sugar-added, bake-dried deliciousness!
We're particularly obsessed with the Cinnamon Apple goodies, but there are
a TON of different varieties to snack on. Only some of them come in
individual-serving bags -- so when it comes to the multi-serving pack, portion
yourself out a serving or two in a plastic baggie and add it to your lunchbox.
YAY!
FiberGourmet Lite Cheese Snacks
PER SERVING (1 pouch): 80 calories, 2g fat, 100mg sodium, 22g carbs, 12g
fiber, 0g sugars, 5g protein -- POINTS® value 1*
These crackers make us SO happy. You get the yummy flavor and crunch of
other cheese snacks PLUS a bunch of fiber. Yes! And they're pre-portioned
with a LOT of crackers in each little pouch. The original cheese flavor rocks,
but the mild Nacho flavor rocks more. So snack to your heart's (and
mouth's) content, and you'll actually feel full afterward, thanks to that fiber
kick. Great with lunch or even as a mid-day snack. (Pssst! These make
excellent "emergency snacks!")
Oreo Wafer Sticks Fun Stix
PER SERVING (1 package, 2 sticks): 90 calories, 3.5g fat, 30 - 50mg sodium,
13g carbs, 0g fiber, 9g sugars, <1g protein -- POINTS® value 2*
No proper bagged lunch would be complete without a little something sweet
to finish it off! This is the perfect size and light enough to not make you crazy-
full, but it's delicious enough to satisfy your need for dessert. The crunchy,
flaky sticks come in original chocolate Oreo (very yummy) and Golden Oreo
(even better!). Our only warning is to pack them carefully. (They're a bit
delicate.) Crunch away!
