<br>Hungry Girl Today: 4.21.10
<br>
<br>ASK HUNGRY GIRL
<br>
<br>	
<br>HG,
<br>
<br>How about a Hungry Girl swap for McDonald's mocha drinks?! I LOVE them 
<br>but need something similar I can make at home.
<br>
<br>Mad for Mocha  
<br> 
<br> 
<br>
<br>Dear Mad for Mocha,
<br>
<br>The mocha and latte drinks at McDonald's are pretty popular. And you can 
<br>get them made with nonfat milk, which is great. But even a small Mocha with 
<br>skim clocks in at 240 calories and 5g fat (POINTS&reg; value 5*). I think that's 
<br>just too high for a smallish cup of coffee. You can EASILY make a warm and 
<br>delicious mocha drink at home. Check it out...
<br>
<br>In a large microwave-safe mug or cup, combine 2 tsp. instant coffee, 2 tsp. 
<br>fat-free nondairy powdered creamer, and a 25-calorie packet of hot cocoa 
<br>mix. Add 3/4 cup hot water and stir to dissolve ingredients. Then add 1/4 cup 
<br>light vanilla soymilk, nuke until hot (about 45 seconds), and stir. Yum! Your 
<br>mocha will have only about 70 calories and less than a gram of fat 
<br>(POINTS&reg; value 1*)! If you want, top it with a generous squirt of Fat Free 
<br>Reddi-wip and a squiggle of light chocolate syrup. Mmmmm!
<br>
<br>Forget high-calorie drive-thru coffees... Who needs 'em?!
<br>
<br>
<br>

<br> 
<br>Hungry Girl,
<br>
<br>How will I ever know how many calories I need to eat in order to lose 
<br>weight? I am active and work out, but I guess I'm STILL taking in too much... 
<br>Would LOVE to know that answer. Help!
<br>

<br>
<br>Dear Calorie Mallory,
<br>
<br>I am asked this question A LOT! I'm not a nutrition expert, but I do know the 
<br>basics and have some GREAT tips. In order to lose weight, you need to take 
<br>in fewer calories than you burn. There are online calculators that 
<br>approximate the number of calories you need per day based on stuff like 
<br>age, gender, activity level, etc. Here's a link to a good one; that should be 
<br>super helpful. But for truly accurate info, you need to know roughly how 
<br>many calories you are burning. How do you figure that out? Get one of those 
<br>electronic devices that tracks your individual calorie burn, like the Bodybugg 
<br>or the Fitbit. (They aren't cheap, but buying one can be a great investment, 
<br>especially if you are having trouble losing weight or have hit a plateau.) Then 
<br>you can try to plan your eating accordingly. For every 3,500 calories you 
<br>expend beyond what you consume, you lose a pound. This can be done 
<br>through a combo of reducing your caloric intake and increasing physical 
<br>activity. So if you take in 500 fewer calories than you burn every day for a 
<br>full week, you should lose about one pound. If you're trying to lose weight, 
<br>one to two pounds a week is the amount that health professionals 
<br>recommend. As always, consult a doctor or other health professional before 
<br>starting any new diet or exercise plan. Okay, now I just have one question 
<br>for you... Is your name really Mallory? :)
