Hungry Girl Today: 08.25.08
Spotted on Shelves...
Special K20 Protein Water Iced Tea - If you're looking for creative ways to
get your protein and you don't mind water with calories, you'll dig this stuff.
It tastes good, and there are 5 protein grams packed into each bottle. Wow,
that IS special! Each bottle has 50 calories, 12g carbs, and 5g fiber
(POINTS® value 0*).
100 Calorie Packs Oreo Snack Cakes - We've been waiting and waiting and
waiting for these fluffy little cookie-inspired 100-cal items to hit store
shelves. And rumor has it, they have! Get excited, cake-lovers! Each pack
has 4g fat, 15g carbs, and <1g fiber (POINTS® value 2*). And we hear a
Nilla version is on the way!
Jimmy Dean D-Lights Turkey Sausage Breakfast Bowls - If you're the type
that likes your hot breakfast in a bowl, instead of piled high on an english
muffin or shoved into a tortilla, check out the latest from Jimmy Dean. Egg
whites, reduced-fat cheese, turkey sausage, potatoes... all in a nukable bowl.
The bowls each have 230 calories, 7g fat, 19g carbs, and 2g fiber (POINTS®
value 5*). Not bad! And we've been making our own versions of these at
home for years...
Take the BRAND-NEW HG Poll!
Taking polls is fun. Clicking on things. Making choices. People caring about
your opinions. It's a good time. And so, we've got a little polling excitement
for you. We want to know what you think about some KEY HG topics
pertaining to our emails and our next book (yes, we said NEXT BOOK -- it'll
be out in the spring of '09, and we are extremely excited about it!). So take
a few short minutes out of your busy day (and we know you are SWAMPED!)
to answer our Qs. We REALLY appreciate it and will love you forever and
ever if you respond. We promise the poll will be interesting, compelling,
intelligent, and not even a tiny bit boring. CLICK, CLICK, CLICK right NOW,
NOW, NOW! Thank you!!!! You're going to help make all things HG even
BETTER. XOXOXO.
Burger Bonanza! Best Bets Vs. Meaty Monstrosities...
If you EVER eat burgers out, you NEED to take a look at this fairly
comprehensive list of nutritionals from a bazillion restaurant chains (fast food
and sit-down). It may shock you. It may FREAK you out. And it may
pleasantly surprise you (though that last one isn't likely). In any case, you
have to find out how many calories are in our country's popular hamburgers.
Here are a few highlights (or should we say, lowlights)...
Chili's Smokehouse Bacon Triple-The-Cheese Big Mouth Burger without side
of Jalapeño-Ranch Dressing - 1,840 calories!!!
Johnny Rockets Bacon Double Cheddar Burger - 1,400 calories!!!
T.G.I. Friday's Jack Daniel's Burger - 1,540 calories!!!
Red Robin A.1. Peppercorn Burger - 1,440 calories!!!
Okay, has your curiosity been piqued? Click here. And one little bit of info.
When we crave a burger, we opt for a single from In-N-Out -- protein style
with grilled onions, and ketchup & mustard instead of the regular sauce. That
burger only has 160 calories -- so low that we've been known to swallow two
at once (taking the time to chew them, of course!).
The Buzz...
If you're a fan of Sharon's Sorbet and you haven't checked the labels in a
while, you may be surprised to learn that several of the fruit-flavored
sorbets -- which used to have 70 - 90 calories per half-cup serving -- now
have 80 - 130 calories. According to the folks at Sharon's, they reformulated
their sorbets months ago to make them sweeter and to improve the
texture... thus the extra calories. But we also learned they're planning to
reformulate AGAIN very soon, making the switch from corn syrup to brown
rice syrup -- and they suspect calorie counts may go back down a bit! We'll
keep you updated. ***Hey, Starbucks morning visitors! The Bucks wants you
back so badly, they'll give you a deal by offering you a $2 beverage after
2PM! Just show up with a receipt from that AM, and you can get any Grande
iced drink for just two bucks! Woohoo! ***Speaking of coffee, did you know
that drinking a caffeinated beverage after a workout could help refuel your
muscles? It's true, according to recent research. Click here to read more
about how ingesting caffeine with your carbs could help your muscles after
exercise.***OOOH, did you know that we're SNACK, er, SMACK in the
middle of moving to brand-new groovy HG offices? It's true! And some of our
favorite food peeps have decided to join in on the excitement and nourish us
while we transport our items to our new home. So what's keeping us
energized and full? South Beach Living bars, Kim's Light Bagels, Lightfull
smoothies, and Pizza Fit 'n Free. Yum! More info, pics of the new place, and
special offers from those sponsors coming soon. Woohoo! That's all we've
got. HG out!
