NEWS
Spotted on Shelves...
Snack Factory Pretzel Crisps Minis - Prefer LOTS of tiny snacks to fewer large ones? Good news: Everyone's favorite flat 'n crispy pretzel snacks now come in a smaller (and ridiculously adorable) size! In Original and Cheddar, enjoy 35 - 42 crackers (WOW) for 110 calories, 0 - 2g fat, 330 - 370mg sodium, 21 - 23g carbs, 1g fiber, 2g sugars, and 3g protein (PointsPlus® value 3*). Find them in the deli section or snack aisle at grocery stores nationwide.
Oscar Mayer P3 Portable Protein Pack - Satisfying snack alert! These multi-compartment trays of lean meat, reduced-fat cheese, and nuts pack a 1-2-3 punch of hunger-squashing goodness. Even better? The portions are perfect, with 160 - 170 calories, 10 - 11g fat, 420 - 460mg sodium, 3 - 4g carbs, 1g fiber, 0 - <1g sugars, and 13 - 14g protein per pack (PointsPlus® value 4*). Look for them in the refrigerated section at your local supermarket.
Gardein Beefless Ground and Sizzling Szechuan Beefless Strips - The Gardein gurus are at it again! The new Beefless Ground is a super all-purpose item, plus it's gluten-free. Similar to other meat-free crumbles, a 1/2-cup serving has 80 calories, 1.5g fat, 230mg sodium, 5g carbs, 3g fiber, 1g sugars, and 12g protein (PointsPlus® value 2*). And the Sizzling Szechuan Beefless Strips are perfectly sauced and so flavorful -- eat 1/3 of the package (including 1 tbsp. sauce) for 205 calories, 7g fat, 365mg sodium, 22g carbs, 1g fiber, 4g sugars, and 11g protein (PointsPlus® value 5*). Click to find (in the freezer aisle)!
Fast-Food Breakfast Just Got Better!
Starbucks Introduces Reduced-Fat Turkey Bacon Breakfast Sandwich - While most of the new breakfast sandwiches on the menu have 400+ calories and more fat than we'd like, this egg-white melt has a slim 230 calories and 6g fat (PointsPlus® value 6*). Score! And let's not forget about the classic Spinach & Feta Breakfast Wrap...
Dunkin' Donuts Unveils Limited-Time Eggs Benedict Breakfast Sandwich - With an egg patty, Black Forest ham, and a Hollandaise-like spread, this new English muffin b-fast has a completely reasonable 300 calories and 9g fat (PointsPlus® value 7*). Sadly, there are STILL no Dunkin' Donuts locations near us in California. If you're one of the lucky ones, hit your local DD stat!
McDonald's Considers Extending B'fast Hours - Wouldn't it be great if one could grab an Egg White Delight McMuffin as a midday mini meal? Yuh-huh! Which is why we're very happy to hear McD's is considering selling breakfast items after 10:30 a.m. -- anyone who's ever rolled up at 10:45 looking for breakfast will surely appreciate this too! Hope it comes to fruition...
The Buzz...
If you want to win a year's worth of freebies -- specifically, your very favorite menu item at Panera Bread -- enter the Panera Favorite sweepstakes now! Click on over... P.S. You don't have to choose one of the five items pictured on that page; you can totally choose your own. We're casting a vote for the Power Breakfast Egg Bowl with Steak. And don't forget to scope out our Panera Bread Survival Guide! ***WOOHOO!!! Following our official announcement of The Hungry Girl Diet pre-sale, our soon-to-be-released diet book hit #1 on Amazon! Thanks to everyone who ordered a copy -- we promise, you will not be disappointed. And if you haven't ordered yours yet, jump on it (up to 40 percent off)! And remember to check out the HG tour dates while you're at it! ***In kiddie meal news, Burger King has swapped out its original French fries for the lower-fat Satisfries. Not a bad idea, but the apple slices are still your best (albeit slightly boring) bet. Bring back the Apple Fries, BK! ***Everyone's looking for that secret weapon in the weight-loss battle, and a new study suggests that weapon could be… seaweed! Researchers found that certain varieties of the ocean algae contain an element that blocks fat absorption and digestion. We're hoping they discover this also applies to those crunchy seaweed snacks we love! ***And after more than two decades, the slogan "Got Milk?" is being retired. The new tagline is "Milk Life," which is meant to emphasize milk's nutritional benefits. Think it'll catch on? That's all we've got... HG out!
