<br>ASK HUNGRY GIRL 
<br>
<br> 
<br>Hi, Hungry Girl! 
<br>
<br>I love sashimi and can eat a lot of it. I used to think it was pretty healthy. 
<br>But I recently checked the nutritionals for salmon (my favorite!), and it's 
<br>about 45 calories and 2g fat per ounce! I'm pretty sure the average piece of 
<br>sashimi is one to two ounces, so does that mean I'm taking in around 240 
<br>calories and 10g fat for just three to four measly pieces of fish? And who 
<br>eats just four pieces?! I know it's good fat and all, but does that mean 
<br>sashimi is not too good calorie-wise? 
<br>

<br> 
<br>Dear Sashimi-Chewer, 
<br>
<br>Hold on there! Before you panic, let's get things straight. For starters, some 
<br>of your facts are a little fishy (some pun intended). The average piece of 
<br>sashimi is not one to two ounces. Sashimi is typically very thinly sliced and 
<br>weighs around 1/2 oz. per piece on average. While salmon is on the high end 
<br>in terms of calories and fat, most varieties of fish contain an average of 35 
<br>calories and 1g fat per ounce. So if you get an order of assorted sashimi, the 
<br>entire thing will probably weigh in at around two to three ounces and have 
<br>about 100 calories and 3g fat or so (give or take a little). I eat a TON of 
<br>sashimi (okay, not literally, but I do eat an awful lot of it!), and I always feel 
<br>good about that choice. I do usually indulge in a few orders of sushi, too, but 
<br>I ask for those with not a lot of rice (a good trick!). I also avoid crazy rolls 
<br>that have lots of mayo, cream cheese, oils, fried items, etc. In general, rolls 
<br>have more rice than straight sushi pieces. Click here and here for some 
<br>more sushi survival tips (and check out the HG book for even more!). I LOVE 
<br>RAW FISH!!!!

<br>Hey HG, 
<br>
<br>I'm in big, big trouble. My work office provides us with unlimited access to 
<br>salted, roasted peanuts. Throughout the whole day, I can't help but demolish 
<br>at least 3 heaping portions of them. How many calories and fat grams am I 
<br>taking in? I know those nuts are super-fattening. How can I resist the 
<br>temptation?

<br> 
<br> 
<br>Dear Peanut-Packed, 
<br>
<br>Holy moly! You're not going to like my answer. Peanuts, while pretty healthy, 
<br>do contain a lot of calories and fat. So if you simply can't stop eating them 
<br>once you start, I think you should just avoid them altogether. Here's the 
<br>story. Each 1-oz. serving of peanuts (about 1/4 cup) has around 170 calories 
<br>and 14g fat (POINTS&reg; value 4*). Each of your "heaping portions" is probably 
<br>one and a half ounces. So if you end up downing three of those a day, you 
<br>could be taking in an extra 765 calories and 63 grams of fat (POINTS&reg; value 
<br>20*) from that peanut habit. THAT is nuts (literally)! I would tell you to limit 
<br>yourself to one serving a day, but it sounds like you would find that too 
<br>difficult to do. If you tried that, you'd likely be thinking about eating more 
<br>and more peanuts all day. Instead, you might wanna go cold turkey and 
<br>FORGET that those things exist. Try to avoid the "peanut area" at the office, 
<br>too (no sense trying to resist 'em when those things are staring you down!). I 
<br>always say if there are foods that you can't stop eating, or foods that trigger 
<br>you into binging in general, AVOID THEM AT ALL COSTS. Sorry if this sounds 
<br>harsh, but I think it's actually really good advice. To help you forget about 
<br>your nut cravings, why not find another food that is portion-controlled and 
<br>fills the void for fewer calories? If you like salty, crunchy snacks, try a nut-
<br>studded crispy snack bar (preferably one with lots of fiber to keep you full) 
<br>or mini-bags of 94% fat-free popcorn (you get A LOT to chew for fewer 
<br>calories and fat grams than those nuts!). Jerky is another good one, since it's 
<br>chewy and takes a while to eat. Keep me posted...
