Hungry Girl Today: 10.03.08
It's National Chili Month, peeps! And we KNOW you all love chili, because any
time we put CHILLY (as in cold!) in an email title, we get a bazillion requests
for CHILI! So here you go...
BEST BUYS
From the supermarket to the drive-thru, HG's got your chili cravings
covered...
Boca Meatless Chili
PER SERVING (one 9.5-oz. container): 150 calories, 1g fat, 650mg sodium,
25g carbs, 12g fiber, 6g sugars, 20g protein -- POINTS® value 2*
When it comes to store-bought chili, Boca is the best. You get a giant bowl of
perfectly seasoned chili with meat-like soy crumbles... and did you see those
stats?! These things are stocked in the freezer aisle, and they're a staple at
the HG HQ. If your local grocery store doesn't carry them, INSIST that they
start!!! (Really, the squeaky wheel gets the oil -- or in this case, the CHILI!)
Quiznos Chili
PER SERVING (1 cup without crackers): 140 calories, 7g fat, 620mg sodium,
12g carbs, 4g fiber, 4g sugars, 9g protein -- POINTS® value 3*
When the peeps at Quiznos made their nutritionals public last year, we were
happy to learn that their hearty chili -- which is chock full of ground beef, red
kidney beans, bell peppers, celery, tomatoes, and seasonings -- is pretty
darn guilt-free, especially for restaurant chili! Just don't slip up and order the
Chili Bread Bowl -- that thing's covered in melted cheese and contains 760
calories and 22g fat (POINTS® value 16*). Stick with the cup.
Health Valley Organic Chilis
PER SERVING (1 cup): 120 - 150 calories, 1g fat, 75 - 480mg sodium, 25 -
32g carbs, 7 - 10g fiber, 4 - 9g sugars, 7 - 10g protein -- POINTS® value 2*
We love, love, love that the folks at H. Valley (not Hidden Valley... the other
one!) make MANY varieties of their canned chili. The Chunky Spicy
Vegetarian even made our list of TOP ATE canned food finds back in
February. Their no-salt-added varieties are perfect for sodium watchers. AND
they recently rolled out microwavable bowls of chili -- even if you eat the
whole nuke-able bowl of the Vegetarian Spicy, it's only about 240 calories
and 2g fat (POINTS® value 4*). Nice goin', guys!
Wendy's Chili (no crackers or cheese)
PER SERVING (1 small order): 190 calories, 6g fat, 830mg sodium, 19g
carbs, 5g fiber, 6g sugars, 14g protein -- POINTS® value 4*
Woohoo, another on-the-go option! We've always considered this chili to be a
great fast-food find. And this yummy stuff has actually gone down in calories
over the years -- so if you haven't checked the stats in a while, you should
be pleasantly surprised! BTW, feel free to splurge and add that Hot Chili
seasoning packet -- it only has 5 calories!
Amy's Organic Black Bean Chili
PER SERVING (1 cup): 200 calories, 2g fat, 680mg sodium, 31g carbs, 15g
fiber, 3g sugars, 13g protein -- POINTS® value 3*
It's no secret we loooooove Amy's. But some of the company's chilis are a
bit high in fat. Not the Black Bean, though. It's low in fat and soooooo good!
Super-thick and full of flavor, there's always room in our snack closet for this
canned deliciousness. And yes, we really have a snack CLOSET.
CHILI SHOCKERS
Your soup spoon isn't safe...
Stagg Classic Chili with Beans
1 cup = 330 calories and 17g fat! (POINTS® value 7*)
You might have thought all canned chilis are pretty much the same, but this
one could win an award for the fattiest, most highly caloric chili ever to be
packaged and sold. Luckily, there is no such award (that we know of!). But
be extra careful in the canned foods aisle... this sucker's lurking there.
Bob Evans Sausage Chili
1 bowl = 376 calories and 24g fat! (POINTS® value 9*)
If you've ever convinced yourself "soup and salad" is your best bet at a
restaurant, consider these stats. A bowl of this stuff has around 30% more
calories and 11 grams MORE fat than an actual Chili Dog from
Wienerschnitzel! Sausage + chili = insanity.
Steak 'n Shake Chili Mac Supreme
1 order = 1,124 calories and 62g fat! (POINTS® value 27*)
What do you get when you top a huge plate of spaghetti with a mountain of
chili and two types of cheese? If you're at Steak 'n Shake, you get 1,124
calories' worth of fatty ridiculousness! Skip it.
