<br>ASK HUNGRY GIRL 
<br>
<br>Dear HG, 
<br>
<br>I love all the foods you say are good. You have GREAT taste! What are your 
<br>ten favorite diet-friendly foods and/or food products and why?
<br>
<br>Seeking HG Foods 
<br> 
<br> 
<br>Dear Seeking, 
<br>
<br>Hmmmmm... that's a hard one, but a REALLY good question. My favorite diet-
<br>friendly foods change a lot, and they vary an awful lot, too. So I'm going to 
<br>make a list -- but just know that this list can change on any given day. But as 
<br>of right now, here are my top ten faves (in no particular order)... 
<br>
<br>1. House Foods Tofu Shirataki - This is the world's best guilt-free pasta swap 
<br>(40 calories for a whole bag)! 
<br>
<br>2. The Laughing Cow Light Cheese Wedges - Only 35 calories per wedge, 
<br>and they make an awesome ingredient for cheese sauces and can double as 
<br>a cream cheese swap. 
<br>
<br>3. Almond Breeze, Unsweetened Vanilla - Less than half the calories of skim 
<br>milk with twice the flavor. Just 40 calories for a WHOLE CUP. 
<br>
<br>4. Vitalicious VitaTops - Skip cake, muffins and brownies. Have an insanely 
<br>delicious, 100-calorie, high-fiber VitaTop instead. 
<br>
<br>5. Butternut Squash - To me, it's the world's best-kept food secret. Soooo 
<br>delicious and soooo low in calories. Have you tried our Bake-tastic Butternut 
<br>Squash Fries? 
<br>
<br>6. Fuji Apples - OMG! There's nothing better than a giant Fuji apple. Yum! 
<br>(And apples are REALLY good for you, too!) 
<br>
<br>7. La Tortilla Factory Whole Wheat Low-Carb/Low-Fat Tortillas, Large - 80 
<br>calories and 14 grams of fiber?! Wrap these things around lean meats, 
<br>salads, egg whites, veggies -- you name it!!! Keep an eye out for their new 
<br>packaging, which says Smart & Delicious Low Carb.
<br>
<br>8. Egg Whites/Egg Beaters - Scrambles ROCK. I eat them many times a 
<br>week -- and they all start with some sort of fat-free egg substitute. 
<br>
<br>9. Canned Pure Pumpkin - Bake with it, cook with it, add it to oatmeal, 
<br>puddings, sauces, etc. It's low in calories, high in fiber, and very good for 
<br>you. 
<br>
<br>10. Fiber One Bran Cereal (Original) - The love affair isn't even CLOSE to 
<br>being over. As a b-fast cereal, or made into "breadcrumbs" for faux frying, 
<br>this stuff is essential to my happiness.

<br>HG, 
<br>
<br>My friends and I LOVE, LOVE your site. Thank you! We do have one question, 
<br>though. We're not fans of light soymilk, and a bunch of the HG recipes call 
<br>for light vanilla soymilk. We would rather substitute skim or low-fat milk in 
<br>your recipes. Would that affect their outcome? Does the soymilk act as a 
<br>thickener? 
<br>
<br>Another Hungry Girl  
<br> 
<br> 
<br>Dear Another HG, 
<br>
<br>You can definitely substitute other milks in place of light vanilla soymilk in HG 
<br>recipes. It shouldn't affect the texture too much -- with skim, your results 
<br>may be a little less creamy. Using ordinary, unflavored milk instead of light 
<br>vanilla soymilk will cause your recipes to taste a bit different though. They'll 
<br>be slightly less sweet and vanilla-y. But, you can fix that by adding a drop 
<br>(and I mean a DROP) of vanilla extract and a bit of no-calorie sweetener to 
<br>the milk to get the vanilla taste going. As for the nutritional difference, skim 
<br>milk has about 20 calories more per cup than the average light vanilla 
<br>soymilk, and 2% milk has about 50 extra calories and 3 grams more fat per 
<br>cup compared to light vanilla soymilk. One last soymilk swap I recommend 
<br>for HG recipes (it's also my favorite!) is Almond Breeze in Unsweetened 
<br>Vanilla -- this stuff only has 40 calories per cup (about half the calories of 
<br>skim milk!), but it's sooooo creamy. So when it comes to soymilk swapping, 
<br>go for it, but use this info to determine how the taste, texture and nutritionals 
<br>will be affected. Good luck!
