***ATTENTION TEXT-ONLY HG SUBSCRIBERS (this means YOU!): Since only
<br>a tiny fraction of our audience receives our emails in text-only form, and the
<br>emails look so much better designed in HTML, we have decided to stop
<br>sending out the text-only versions of Hungry Girl newsletters. This change
<br>will happen in the very near future. Keep an eye out for the HTML versions in
<br>your inbox... coming soon!***

<br>Hungry Girl Today: 12.07.09
<br>
<br>
<br>Spotted on Shelves...
<br>
<br>Trader Joe's Dark Chocolate Nibs - Total copycat alert! If you're a fan of 
<br>Sweetriot chocolate-dunked cacao nibs, you'll love these! The ONLY 
<br>differences? TJ's come in just one variety (65% cacao dark chocolate) and 
<br>they're cheaper. A 1-tbsp. serving (about half a tin -- a LOT of nibs) has 70 
<br>calories, 6g fat, 7g carbs, 1g fiber, and 1g protein (POINTS&reg; value 2*). P.S. 
<br>Another way to save cash on choco-covered cacao? Order Sweetriot's 10-oz. 
<br>bag instead of individual tins... Just don't consume it all at once!
<br>
<br>Manischewitz Reduced Sodium Chicken Broth, All Natural with No MSG - In 
<br>addition to being kosher, this stuff is a) deliciously homemade-tasting, and b) 
<br>lower in sodium than regular broth, with 420mg per cup. It ROCKS. If you 
<br>use broth for holiday cooking (great for adding flavor and moisture without a 
<br>ton of calories!), this is a must-try. Each cup has 15 calories, 0.5g fat, 1g 
<br>carbs, 0g fiber, and 1g protein (POINTS&reg; value 0*). Even Grandma would 
<br>approve.
<br>
<br>Pepperidge Farm Baked Naturals Cheese Crisps, Four Cheese - Cheese-
<br>lovers, hear THIS! The four fromages (Asiago, Cheddar, Parm, and Romano) 
<br>in these AWESOME crackers are baked on top for a crispy-licious queso 
<br>layer. AND you get to eat 20 pieces for 140 calories, 6g fat, 19g carbs, 1g 
<br>fiber, and 3g protein (POINTS&reg; value 3*). OK, now go get them.
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>WARNING: Holiday Shockers Are Here!
<br>
<br>Check out some of the SINFUL seasonal treats out there... and BEWARE!
<br>
<br>Bruegger's Cinnamon Roll Bagel - ACK! This limited-time-only morning treat 
<br>has 540 calories and 6g fat -- without ANY cream cheese! Add a serving of 
<br>seasonal Pumpkin cream cheese, and you're looking at a total of 660 calories 
<br>and 17g fat. Blech.
<br>
<br>Cold Stone Creamery Dark Chocolate Peppermint Ice Cream - If you're 
<br>thinking of sampling this winter-y frozen treat, you might think twice after 
<br>you see its stats. A "Like It" serving (that's Cold Stone talk for "small") has 
<br>340 calories and 20g fat -- and that's BEFORE they mash in any mix-ins! 
<br>
<br>Peet's Coffee & Tea Reduced Fat Pumpkin Ginger Muffin - Do NOT be fooled! 
<br>All "reduced fat" really means is that it has at least 50% less fat than the 
<br>original. And this seasonal selection still has 14 fat grams and a whopping 
<br>460 calories. (May vary by region.) Skip it, peeps.
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>Cool Stuff You Need to Know About...
<br>
<br>Airplane Eats EXPOSED! - With the holiday travel season upon us, our good 
<br>friend the Diet Detective (a.k.a. Charles Stuart Platkin) has the 411 on the in-
<br>flight food served by a handful of major airlines. Each company is given a 
<br>Health Score on a scale of one to five stars (1 star = lowest rating; 5 stars = 
<br>highest). The DD also provides the specific offerings, best bets, calorie 
<br>counts, exercise equivalents (how much walking you'd need to do to burn off 
<br>the food), and more. When it comes to the Health Score, Continental came in 
<br>first place with 4 1/2 stars, and Southwest came in last with 2 stars. Click 
<br>here for the full scoop!
<br>
<br>Top Chef Frozen Food Items from Schwan's Home Service - Ever wish you 
<br>could be at the Judges' Table on Top Chef? Well, you can't (sad!), but this 
<br>could be the next best thing. Schwan's has released a line of heat 'n eat 
<br>meals based on creations by the show's "cheftestants." Some are a bit high 
<br>in the stats department (sorry, Elia, 520 calories & 46g fat is a little extreme 
<br>for a bowl of soup), but we're looking forward to trying a few. We've been 
<br>DREAMING about the food by this season's Kevin Gillespie since Day One! 
<br>(P.S. We're rooting for KG all the way. Go, Kevin, GO!)
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>The Buzz...
<br>
<br>Check out the crazy changes happening at chain restaurants nationwide! 
<br>Macaroni Grill has already re-worked its menu and released a slew of lower-
<br>calorie dishes, a few of them debuting just a few weeks ago, and the entire 
<br>menu's set to be 100% overhauled by next summer. West Coast sandwich 
<br>shop Togo's is now selling Mini Classics: smaller, under-350-calorie versions 
<br>of six of the chain's popular subs. And Ruby Tuesday recently debuted over 
<br>25 new items, including a bunch of "sensational" salads. (FYI, the stats aren't 
<br>great on all those salads, but they could be good with a few tweaks. Worth 
<br>checking out.) ***B-fast bargain alert! Jamba Juice Hot Oatmeal ROCKS, and 
<br>the beverage chain is bringing back its breakfast-for-a-buck promotion, this 
<br>week only! (At participating locations. Ends 12/11/09.) There's also a new, 
<br>limited-time-only flavor -- Berry Cherry Pecan. But heads up: That's got 
<br>higher stats than the others. Click now for your coupon! ***Confused by 
<br>seasonal produce at the market? Wondering what's at its peak in the colder 
<br>months? Click here for a rundown on winter fruits and veggies, including 
<br>their nutritional content and even how to prepare 'em! COOL stuff. That's all 
<br>we've got. HG out!

<br>bake with it, sweeten up smoothies with it, toss it into oatmeal, and so much 
<br>more. Click here for the 411!
<br>
<br>CHEW ON THIS:
<br>Today, December 7th, is National Cotton Candy Day. If you've got a Nothing 
<br>but Noodles location near you, stop in for a 65-calorie serving of the fat-free 
<br>sweet treat! (Guess they have more than just noodles.) And if not, find a 
<br>circus or a well-equipped convenience store.
