<br>ASK HUNGRY GIRL 
<br>
<br>Dear Hungry Girl,
<br>
<br>I travel a lot and find myself purchasing those so-called healthy snack boxes 
<br>on airplanes. They seem to have a lot of carby snacks in them. Are these 
<br>really good choices for me?
<br>
<br>Plane Jane
<br>
<br>  
<br> 
<br>Dear Plane Jane,
<br>
<br>Yikes! Do NOT be fooled by those empty promises airlines are throwing at us 
<br>these days. Those crazy snack boxes are PACKED full of calories and fat. I 
<br>mean, is it REALLY necessary to give us crackers, pretzels AND chips all in 
<br>the same box? And who needs all that cheese and pepperoni? And a brownie 
<br>to finish it off?! Are they crazy? I checked out the snack boxes offered by a 
<br>bunch of the major airlines and found that most of them had about 600 - 900 
<br>calories (and dozens of fat grams) each! That's hardly a snack! Your best bet 
<br>while traveling is to bring a bunch of snacks from home and keep them 
<br>handy. I'm actually on a plane right now (good timing!) as I type this, and in 
<br>my emergency snack bag I have an apple, a 100 Calorie Pack of Ritz Chips 
<br>Minis, a Fiber One Chewy Bar, Crum Creek Soy Bites, a 100-calorie jerky 
<br>pouch from Oberto, and a Tootsie Pop. I definitely won't eat all of my 
<br>emergency snacks on this flight but it's nice to know they're here for me. By 
<br>the way, if anyone out there works for an airline and wants to develop an HG-
<br>approved snack box, let me know -- I'd be happy to help! (Pssst... click here 
<br>to see the HG Yahoo! piece on airplane snacking!)

<br>Hi, HG!
<br>
<br>I was wondering if flavored coffees (such as hazelnut, French vanilla, etc.) 
<br>have more calories than regular coffee. Thank you!
<br>
<br>Flavored Coffee Nut
<br>
<br>  
<br>
<br>Dear Flavored Coffee Nut,
<br>
<br>Like regular coffee, flavored coffee has virtually no calories. And by that I 
<br>mean flavored coffee BEANS. If you go to a supermarket and pick up your 
<br>favorite coffee grounds in flavors like chocolate, Irish mint, French vanilla, 
<br>etc., your coffee will still be calorie-free (until you add stuff to it -- like milk, 
<br>sugar, etc.). However, if you go somewhere and order a flavored coffee -- 
<br>whether it's a restaurant, deli, gas station or convenience store machine, etc.-
<br>- please make sure that they are giving you unsweetened coffee with no 
<br>added milk or flavored syrup. If they give you coffee that is light and/or 
<br>sweet, chances are that cup has lots of calories and fat. By the way, my 
<br>favorite things to add to coffee are Splenda, powdered Fat Free Coffee-Mate, 
<br>Almond Breeze Unsweetened Vanilla, unsweetened cocoa, and Torani Sugar 
<br>Free Syrups. (Just don't use them all at the same time!)
