<br>Hungry Girl Today: 10.12.09
<br>
<br>
<br>Spotted on Shelves...
<br>
<br>Breyers YoCrunch 100 Calorie Packs - These naturally sweetened little 
<br>yogurt cups each come with a compartment of perfectly portioned goodies to 
<br>swirl right in! There's Vanilla with Chocolate Chip Cookie Pieces, Vanilla with 
<br>Nestle Buncha Crunch Candies, Cheesecake with Graham Cookie Pieces, and 
<br>Strawberry with 100% Natural Lowfat Granola. Each creamy container, 
<br>including the mix-ins, has 100 calories, 0.5 - 2g fat, 21 - 24g carbs, <1 - 1g 
<br>fiber, and 3 - 4g protein (POINTS&reg; value 2*). Mmmmmm... 
<br>crunchyummyliciousness! 
<br>
<br>Sunsweet Chocolate PlumSweets - These chocolate-dunked pieces of "dried 
<br>plums" (folks, they're prunes -- get over it!) ROCK! And they're PACKED with 
<br>antioxidants from both dark chocolate and the "plums." Double whammy! 
<br>Each serving (about 14 pieces) has 120 calories, 6g fat, 19g carbs, 2g fiber, 
<br>and 1g protein (POINTS&reg; value 3*).
<br>
<br>Contessa MicroSteam Meals, Shrimp Varieties - There's a reason this 
<br>company shares a name with Italian royalty -- it RULES! Once again, the 
<br>frozen-foods co. is bringing us easy-to-prepare dinners for two or three with 
<br>STARCH-FREE options! Four of the shrimp dishes in this line -- Balsamic 
<br>Glazed Shrimp, Buffalo Shrimp, Honey Roasted Shrimp, and Tikka Masala 
<br>Shrimp -- contain two servings per nukeable bag and consist of just shrimp, 
<br>sauce, and (sometimes) veggies. A serving of each of those has 120 
<br>calories, 3 - 5g fat, 5 - 10g carbs, 0.5g fiber, and 12 - 13g protein (POINTS&reg; 
<br>value 3*). With stats like that, feel free to down the entire package!
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>Bitty Bites...
<br>
<br>Fiber for All and All for Fiber! 
<br>Woohoo! Fiber One has officially launched its BRAND-NEW online store! 
<br>Those hard-to-find baking mixes? The amazing toaster pastries? Every flavor 
<br>of Fiber One bars under the sun? Yup, they're all there. No more roaming the 
<br>market aisles and harassing store employees (unless that's what you do for 
<br>fun). Also AMAZINGLY cool? The Daily Value Bundle! It includes a box of the 
<br>Original cereal, a pack of Oats & Chocolate chewy bars, and a box of 
<br>Blueberry muffin mix. One serving of each of the three products amounts to 
<br>100% of the fiber you need in a day. Clever! But try to include some fruit 
<br>and veggies in your diet as well... 
<br>
<br>
<br>Outback Steakhouse Tells ALL! 
<br>We got our hands on the calorie info from Outback as soon as NYC started 
<br>requiring it be listed on menus, but now the Interactive Nutritional Menu Tool 
<br>on the restaurant's website has it all: fat, fiber, etc. Besides seeing stats for 
<br>every section of the menu, you can customize each item and then view the 
<br>total nutritionals for your entire meal. So just how much fat is in an Alice 
<br>Springs Chicken dinner with Aussie Fries? That would be a whopping 115 
<br>grams! AHHHH! But the Grilled Chicken on the Barbie with Fresh Seasonal 
<br>Veggies, if ordered without the butter on either, has just 387 calories, 3.5g 
<br>fat, and 4.5g fiber (POINTS&reg; value 7*). Nice! Check out the site, scope out 
<br>the numbers, and mix-'n-match a perfect meal!

<br>Eat Right: Potentially Reduce Breast Cancer Risk
<br>
<br>October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and we're here with some 
<br>helpful info. Getting the right nutrients could up your body's cancer-fighting 
<br>abilities, so here are some fantastic foods that may aid in breast cancer 
<br>prevention... 
<br>
<br>Nuts and Seeds - These guys are full of healthy fats and potential anticancer 
<br>properties. Go for almonds and walnuts (check out Emerald's 100 Calorie 
<br>Packs of Natural Walnuts and Almonds), flax seeds (we love Kashi's Pumpkin 
<br>Spice Flax granola bars and thin-crust pizzas made with flax seeds), and 
<br>pumpkin seeds (give it up for Kashi again, with its delicious seed-sprinkled 
<br>Mayan Harvest Bake). 
<br>
<br>Fruits and Veggies - The more, the better. Broccoli, cabbage, spinach, and 
<br>berries are all excellent sources of phytochemicals, which may assist in 
<br>disease prevention. BTW, eating your veggies raw or lightly cooked is the 
<br>best way to retain those good-for-you nutrients. 
<br>
<br>Whole Grains - Experts say high-fiber carbs might not trigger cell growth in 
<br>breast tissue the way that white carbs (like flour and rice) could. So go for 
<br>oats, bran, whole-wheat flour, and brown rice.

<br>The Buzz...
<br>
<br>Please take a minute to check out this list of the 272 highest-calorie fast food 
<br>items. Some human spent a lot of time compiling this. (It's not 100% up-to-
<br>date, but it's still super-helpful.) It's ranked from highest to lowest, the 
<br>highest being a 1,680-calorie shake and the lowest being a 700-calorie 
<br>chicken sandwich. YOWZA! ***Food is great, and food that makes us more 
<br>attractive is even better! A Japanese research team recently unveiled data 
<br>that proves blackcurrants not only improve blood flow, but may also reduce 
<br>dark circles under your eyes. AWESOME! *** D.I.Y. French-fry fanatics, you 
<br>may want to pay attention. A new product called the ActiFry is now on the 
<br>market and gets your spuds (and spud swaps) more fry-like than a regular 
<br>old oven and with a minimal amount of oil. We tried it, and it's pretty cool! 
<br>Thing is, it's basically a "unitasker" -- meaning it mainly does one thing really 
<br>well and takes up a lot of space. Plus, it's SUPER-pricey. Those low-fat fries 
<br>might be worth it, though... ***And finally... WE'VE HIT 800,000 
<br>SUBSCRIBERS!!! The lucky winners of a year's worth of Popchips AND 
<br>VitaTops EACH are Magaly (the 800,000th subscriber herself) and Nina (the 
<br>awesome friend who referred her). Congratulations, you two, and get ready 
<br>for some SERIOUS snacking. Now, how on Earth are we gonna outdo 
<br>ourselves when we hit A MILLION subscribers?! That's all we've got. HG out!
