<br>Hungry Girl Today: 06.20.08 
<br>
<br>Summer's here, people! And that means beach days (HOORAY!). But before 
<br>you head to the land of sand, check out our must-read Beach Survival Guide. 
<br>We've got every beachside craving covered!    
<br> 
<br> 
<br>When Carb Cravings Attack...
<br>
<br>Avoid It! Whatever you do, stay far away from the funnel cake. That giant, 
<br>doughy, sugar-dusted treat contains around 760 calories and 44g fat 
<br>(POINTS&reg; value 18*). Just say no to popcorn by the beach, as well. Those 
<br>kernels are typically drenched with butter and/or oil, or encrusted in sugary 
<br>coating. Even a so-called "small & plain" serving can pack in more than 575 
<br>calories and 35 fat grams (POINTS&reg; value 14*). And a couple cups of 
<br>caramel corn with nuts contain around 450 calories and 9g fat (POINTS&reg; 
<br>value 9*). Eeeks! 
<br>
<br>Enjoy It! If you need a starchy fix on the boardwalk, your best bet's a soft 
<br>pretzel. A small plain one (or half of a large one) has around 220 calories, 2g 
<br>fat, and 1g fiber (POINTS&reg; value 4*). Then, if you like, cover it with guilt-
<br>free condiments like mustard and relish -- or even ketchup (don't knock it 'til 
<br>you try it).  
<br> 
<br> 
<br>
<br>What to Munch for Lunch...
<br>
<br>Don't Do It! Pizza may be a boardwalk staple, but even a plain slice typically 
<br>packs in serious calories and fat grams. Those wacky pizza places are 
<br>notorious for serving up the oiliest (and sometimes largest!) pizza slices 
<br>known to man (not an honor they should be proud of). Hot dogs, burgers, 
<br>steak sandwiches and other greasy grill options are also serious don'ts when 
<br>it comes to eating guilt-free while you're surfside. 
<br>
<br>Chomp Into It! Look for a place that serves salads, and then go for one 
<br>loaded with veggies and topped with lean protein, like grilled chicken, shrimp 
<br>or fish, or even beans (such as chickpeas or kidney beans). Then top it off 
<br>with a low-cal dressing. If the place doesn't offer light dressing, get creative 
<br>with vinegar, lemon juice, or salsa -- or just tote along your own single-
<br>serving packets. Sandwich-cravers should seek out a Subway restaurant 
<br>location and go for their Fresh Fit subs. When ordered on Italian or wheat 
<br>bread, those six-inchers each have 230 - 370 calories, 3 - 6g fat, and 5 - 6g 
<br>fiber (POINTS&reg; value 4 - 7*). Not bad!   
<br>  
<br> 
<br> 
<br>Beat-the-Heat Sweet Treats...
<br>
<br>Give It the Cold Shoulder! Okay, you don't need us to tell you to avoid 
<br>scoops of full-fat ice cream. But beware of Italian ice and slushie drinks -- 
<br>they may seem innocent, yet they're basically shaved ice showered in 
<br>sugary syrup. Although they're fat-free, a 12-oz. serving can contain more 
<br>than 260 calories (POINTS&reg; value 5*). And watch out for soft-serve ice 
<br>cream that isn't low-fat or fat-free. Full-fat soft-serve ice cream typically 
<br>contains more than 220 calories and 13g fat (POINTS&reg; value 5*)... and 
<br>that's just for a 3-oz. serving! Even a small soft-serve ice cream can be a 
<br>hefty 10 ounces -- that's more than 730 calories and 42 fat grams (POINTS&reg; 
<br>value 18*). Yowza! 
<br>
<br>Spoon It On In! Sorbet, fat-free or low-fat frozen yogurt, and low-fat ice 
<br>cream are your best bets at an ice cream shop. You can usually get a small 
<br>4-oz. serving for only 100 - 160 calories and 0 - 3g fat (POINTS&reg; value 2 - 
<br>3*). But nutritionals definitely vary, so check out our Dining Out Ice Cream 
<br>Guide for the full 411! And if you're lucky enough to find a shaved ice shop 
<br>that offers sugar-free options, go for it! A 12-oz. sugar-free Italian ice has 
<br>only around 100 fat-free calories (POINTS&reg; value 2*).  
<br> 
<br> 
<br> 
<br>I Want Candy...
<br>
<br>Lose It! Don't be fooled by fruity fakers. Caramel and candy apples typically 
<br>have at least 250 calories each, and the caramel ones often have as much as 
<br>5g fat each (POINTS&reg; value 4 - 5*). And that's without any peanuts, 
<br>coconut, or other edible stick-ons -- factor that stuff in, and the nutritionals 
<br>get really nutty! Also watch out for sugar-free chocolate -- that stuff still 
<br>packs in lots of calories and fat. Just 5 small pieces (with no nuts, peanut 
<br>butter, etc.) contain around 170 calories and 13g fat (POINTS&reg; value 4*). So 
<br>skip it (unless you're one of those people who can stick with a single piece). 
<br>
<br>Choose It! There are some awesome options at those can't-miss candy 
<br>stores by the beach. Taffy is low in fat and takes a looong time to eat -- a 
<br>half-ounce piece has only about 60 calories and a half-gram of fat (POINTS&reg; 
<br>value 1*). Even cotton candy (while full of sugar) is somewhat guilt-free, 
<br>since it's so light and airy. A typical (and large) serving of that fluffy stuff has 
<br>just around 200 calories and no fat (POINTS&reg; value 4*) -- share it with a 
<br>pal. Just don't tell your dentist!
