***ATTENTION TEXT-ONLY HG SUBSCRIBERS (this means YOU!): Since only
<br>a tiny fraction of our audience receives our emails in text-only form, and the
<br>emails look so much better designed in HTML, we have decided to stop
<br>sending out the text-only versions of Hungry Girl newsletters. This change
<br>will happen in the very near future. Keep an eye out for the HTML versions in
<br>your inbox... coming soon!***

<br>Hungry Girl Today: 10.5.09
<br>
<br>
<br>Spotted on Shelves...
<br>
<br>Lean Pockets Breakfast Quesadilla - Morning quesadillas are all the rage! And 
<br>Lean Pockets has officially jumped on the bandwagon with its new, pod-like, 
<br>portable breakfast sandwich. It's stuffed with Southwest-style sausage, egg, 
<br>and cheese but NOT with a crazy amount of calories. Each "pocket" has 250 
<br>calories, 8g fat, 33g carbs, 1g fiber, and 11g protein (POINTS&reg; value 5*). 
<br>Say CHEESE! 
<br>
<br>Wheat Thins Flatbread - We like crackers as much as the next human but 
<br>can't be trusted around an open box of bite-sized ones. These extra-large, 
<br>30-calorie crisps make portions WAY easier to pay attention to. In Garlic & 
<br>Parsley and Tuscan Herb, chomp on two Flatbreads for 60 calories, 1.5g fat, 
<br>12g carbs, <1g fiber, and 1g protein (POINTS&reg; value 1*). Well played, 
<br>Wheat Thins!
<br>
<br>Gardein Santa Fe Chick'n Good Stuff - These refrigerated, nukeable, veggie 
<br>& grain cutlets are SO good, even meat-lovers will become obsessed 
<br>with 'em. They're crammed with corn & black beans and smothered with a 
<br>deliciously spiced tomato sauce. AND THEY TASTE LIKE CHICKEN! Each one 
<br>clocks in at 160 calories, 5g fat, 9g carbs, 3g fiber, and 19g protein 
<br>(POINTS&reg; value 3*). One note to the Gardein people, though: The 
<br>phrase "ancient grain ingredients" had us nervously checking the expiration 
<br>date. (Pssst... Trader Joe's has its own nearly identical Chicken-less Stuffed 
<br>Cutlet!)
<br>
<br>

<br>
<br>Bitty Bites...
<br>
<br>Foods of the Future
<br>Most of us thought that we'd be driving flying cars by now, but don't fret -- at 
<br>least there've been all kinds of wacky advances made in the world of food. 
<br>To name a few? Well, a 27-year-old inventor has created a contraption that 
<br>allows one to (not even joking) grow their own meat. We're 100% impressed 
<br>and about 90% grossed out. Next, a biotech company, already in 
<br>development of an appetite-suppressing gum, has revealed plans for a new 
<br>chewy confection: stress-suppressing gum. Again, WHOA. Finally, we have a 
<br>British creation: the Hotcan. This line of portable meals features canisters 
<br>that HEAT YOUR FOOD all by themselves! Very cool. Now WHERE are our 
<br>flying cars?! 
<br>
<br>
<br>Newly NATIONWIDE!
<br>In slightly more useful food developments, there are OODLES of edible items 
<br>we love that are finally rolling out nationwide. TRUwhip, the all-natural 
<br>whipped topping, is now popping up in freezer aisles across America. 
<br>Starbucks VIA Ready Brew (a.k.a. the best instant coffee EVER) is now 
<br>available in all SB locations, as well as Target, Costco, some United Airlines 
<br>flights, and more. Lastly, the long-awaited, lightened-up Italian 
<br>Mediterranean Menu items are now available at Macaroni Grills all around the 
<br>country. YAY!!! 
<br>
<br>
<br>Calorie Explosion in the U.S.!
<br>Calorie alert! Since 1970, the average daily calorie consumption per 
<br>American has increased by more than 600 calories, jumping from 2,172 to 
<br>2,775. Even worse, almost half of that increase can be attributed to one 
<br>thing: OIL. AAHHHH! Click here to view the graphs and charts that back up 
<br>this info as well as a ton of other history tidbits regarding calorie intake -- 
<br>and then go hug a can of Pam, willya?
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>The Buzz...
<br>
<br>Dessert Hummus: fact or fiction? FACT! The Original Crazy Camel Dessert 
<br>Hummus All Purpose Dipper & Spread has half the fat of regular hummus 
<br>and comes in fun flavors like Pumpkin Pie (our favorite!) and Chocolate 
<br>Mousse. YES, it's made with actual garbanzo beans AND it's sweet and 
<br>desserty. Click here for more on that. ***Looking for a way to get lots of 
<br>antioxidants without pounding acai elixir and other hard-to-pronounce 
<br>concoctions? Recent findings out of the University of Scranton suggest that a 
<br>bowl of popcorn, breakfast cereal, or whole-grain crackers can deliver a 
<br>good dose of disease-fighting antioxidants as well. But don't use that as an 
<br>excuse to carbo-load, people -- fruits and veggies work, too! ***It's time to 
<br>play... WHEEL! OF! LUNCH! Can't decide where to eat? Enter your zip code 
<br>into this cool site, and it'll fill the spinnable wheel with restaurants in your 
<br>area along with links to customer reviews and everything. The only uncool 
<br>thing about it? The "skip lunch" option. Ignore that one. *** Hit the yoga mat 
<br>much? Good news, Bendy! That downward dog pose could be keeping you 
<br>from mindlessly munching throughout the day. Recent studies show that 
<br>there's a strong link between yoga practice and attentive eating habits, one 
<br>not found with other forms of exercise. Read more about that here. 
<br>***Pssst... HG's Lisa is back on Rachael Ray this coming Wednesday (10/7), 
<br>so check local listings and tune in! That's all we've got. HG out!
