<br>Hungry Girl Today: 11.07.08 
<br>
<br>Everyone's talking about energy efficiency for their cars, refrigerators and 
<br>houses... but what about our bodies? Here's a brief primer on what to eat to 
<br>keep your body movin' and energized...   
<br> 
<br> 
<br>Low Glycemic Index Foods
<br>
<br>The 411 - These foods release energy slowly, so the energy-boost you get 
<br>from them lasts longer than energy from high glycemic index foods (refined 
<br>pasta, soda, candy, etc.). Simply put, it's more bang for your buck. 
<br>
<br>Best Bets! Leafy greens, red peppers, onions, beans 
<br>
<br>HG Pick - For a low-GI mini-meal, why not whip up our Chicken Fajita Lettuce 
<br>Cups? With lettuce, onions, and red peppers all represented, it's a feast of 
<br>energy foods for only 190 calories and a POINTS&reg; value of 3*.   
<br> 
<br> 
<br> 
<br>Fiber
<br>
<br>The 411 - High-fiber foods take a nice long time to digest. So, like low-GI 
<br>foods, the energy from these is released over a longer period of time than 
<br>fiber-lacking foods. As if we needed another reason to love fiber... 
<br>
<br>Best Bets! Fruits, vegetables, whole grains 
<br>
<br>HG Pick - We just discovered a seriously good oatmeal that is chock-full of 
<br>energy-enhancing fiber. It's called Holly's Au Natural Oatmeal, and it comes 
<br>in a bunch of great flavors. We're nuts about the Apricot Maple Nut -- you get 
<br>a large, filling portion for 210 calories, 0.5g fat, 43g carbs, 8g fiber, and 9g 
<br>protein (POINTS&reg; value 3*). And even though the directions say to make it 
<br>with a cup of soymilk, we made it with 5 oz. water and 3 oz. Unsweetened 
<br>Vanilla Almond Breeze and it STILL rocked!   
<br>  
<br> 
<br> 
<br>Omega-3 Fatty Acids
<br>
<br>The 411 - Fats provide energy, but too often the fats we're not getting 
<br>enough of are the ones we really need (boo!). These fatty acids provide 
<br>energy to your muscles, heart, and other organs -- all areas we'd like to 
<br>keep energized, thankyouverymuch! 
<br>
<br>Best Bets! Salmon, halibut, boiled cauliflower, baked squash, flaxseeds 
<br>
<br>HG Picks - Even we were surprised to see that our cooked cauliflower and 
<br>squash creations have omega-3s, but it's true. So next time you need 
<br>energy, throw together some Bake-tastic Butternut Squash Fries or I Can't 
<br>Believe It's Not Potato Salad! Or check out the flaxseed-fortified Naturally 
<br>More Peanut Butter -- 2 tablespoons serves up 169 calories, 11g fat, 8g 
<br>carbs, 4g fiber, and 10g protein (POINTS&reg; value 3*), and it tastes GREAT.  
<br> 
<br> 
<br>
<br>B Vitamins
<br>
<br>The 411 - B vitamins support the cells and enzymes that break down your 
<br>food. In order to convert your food into energy, those enzymes need a good 
<br>supply of B vitamins to keep 'em going. It's a crucial part of refueling your 
<br>body. 
<br>
<br>Best Bets! Whole grains, low-fat yogurt, tuna, bananas 
<br>
<br>HG Pick - To get your Bs, grab a Kashi GOLEAN Crunchy! Bar. Those things 
<br>are loaded with B6, B12, iron and more. We're VERY into the Cinnamon 
<br>Coffee Cake one -- 160 calories, 3g fat, 28g carbs, 5g fiber, and 11g protein 
<br>(POINTS&reg; value 3*). Yummmm!    
<br>  
<br> 
<br>
<br>Good-Digestion Foods
<br>
<br>The 411 - Improved digestion = increased energy. It's as simple as that. A 
<br>lazy digestive system leaves the rest of you feeling lazy as well. So eat foods 
<br>that promote good digestion! 
<br>
<br>Best Bets! Ginger, garlic, rosemary, cinnamon, pepper, chili 
<br>
<br>HG Picks - Going out for sushi? Load up on that pickled ginger! And if you're 
<br>staying in, our WOW Kung Pao recipe packs a punch with both garlic and red 
<br>pepper flakes. Feel free to kick the spices up a notch... if you think you can 
<br>take it!
