Quaker Tortillaz, Zesty Guacamole Flavor - Love guac? And triangular snacks? These brand-new rice 'n corn crisps are light, crispy, and uniquely delicious. A 1-oz. serving (about 15 crisps) has 130 calories, 4g fat, 21g carbs, 1g fiber, and 2g protein (POINTS® value 3*). Also available in Cheesy Nacho. Watch out, Doritos!

100 Calorie Packs Honey Maid Cinnamon Roll Thin Crisps - If you love cinnamon buns, this super-new 100-calorie pack will make you happy. With 3g fat, 16g carbs, 0g fiber, and 1g protein, each package has a POINTS® value of 2*. They're sooo good (and very cute, too, in case that's something that matters to you).

Pillsbury Pizza Crust, Classic - Here's a hidden gem. There's lots you can do with this refrigerated dough (recipes coming soon!), 'cuz a little goes a long way. 1/6th of the package has 160 calories, 2g fat, 31g carbs, 1g fiber, and 5g protein (POINTS® value 3*). But it's easy to stretch the servings (literally, stretch and roll the dough thin) and make the nutritional stats WAY better. BTW, don't confuse this with the Thin Crust variety -- that one, oddly, has more fat. Just a little tip!


*Better Off Bread



There are a bunch of new bread products (and some breaking bread news!) that people have been yapping about lately, so we thought we'd tell you about 'em (because we like you, and we're nice):

New from Fiber One - If you're lucky enough to find these, TRY THEM. Both of the new breads -- Country White and Soft Oatmeal -- are fantastic. But the REAL standouts are the new varieties of F1's english muffins -- in Original and 100% Whole Wheat. (Sorta funny that one of the new flavors is called Original, no?) Our advice? If you eat the bread, stick with one piece -- each large slice has 100 - 110 calories, 1 - 1.5g fat, 24 - 25g carbs, 6g fiber, and 4g protein (POINTS® value 1 - 2*). The e-muffins are a STEAL at 100 calories, 1g fat, 22 - 23g carbs, 6g fiber, and 5g protein (POINTS® value 1*) per muffin.

Subway's Latest - There's a new bread at Subway -- 9-Grain Wheat -- with a nice amount of fiber (4g per 6-incher) and less fat and fewer calories than the Honey Oat (the only other bread with more fiber). Yup, we pay attention to all the little details. Each 6-inch, 9-Grain roll has 200 calories, 2.5g fat, 40g carbs, and 8g protein (POINTS® value 3*).

Bread Wars! - You may have seen Domino's recent ads boasting how its new sandwiches beat Subway's 2-to-1 in a national taste test. Well, the folks at Subway weren't happy -- their lawyers sent the pizza co. a cease-and-desist letter demanding Domino's pull these ads. Domino's not only refused to do so, but they also launched a commercial showing their CEO burning (baking, actually) the letter! Go here to watch it- http://www.prnewswire.com/mnr/dominos/36735/

Thanks for the info....you really do need to watch and see what's out there.

While away from home looked for the 'healthiest' bread at a Publix chain. Found one with 100 cal, 3g fiber, etc,etc....so far so good.

Had some as toast, hmmmm, fishy flavor??? Must be something I'm imagining. Had a sandwich, no problem tasted ok. Toast the next morning, fish.....WTH????

So, looked at ingredients..........sure 'nuff, fish oil was listed...YUCK!!!! Must have been a cheap way to sneak in Omega3's or something. Needless to say I wish I could remember which one it was.

Making a long story short:
READ THOSE INGREDIENTS..you NEVER know what they're going to put in stuff.
