100 Calorie Packs Mini Cakesters - In Oreo and Golden Oreo, each 3-Cakester package has 100 calories, 4.5g fat, 15g carbs, 0 - <1g fiber, and 1g protein (POINTS® value 2*). They're squishy and soft with a delicious creamy layer in the middle. The only problem is they're so good, you'll want to keep ripping packages open and popping more and more of 'em into your mouth. Consider yourself warned. (And go here for a coupon! http://www.nabiscoworld.com/100caloriepack/ )

Kettle Cuisine Soups - Check out these fancy schmancy, gluten-free, all-natural soups in the freezer aisle. We've tried (and loved) the Organic Carrot & Coriander Soup and the Tomato Soup with Garden Vegetables, each with 100 - 110 calories, 3.5 - 4g fat, 14 - 15g carbs, 5g fiber, and 1 - 3g protein (POINTS® value 1 - 2*) per 10-oz., microwaveable, single-serving bowl. They come in a bunch of other varieties as well. (Read labels carefully -- some have better stats than others.) Gohere ( http://www.kettlecuisine.com/wheretobuy.htm ) to see where to find 'em or here to order online http://www.glutenfreemall.com/catalog/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=kettle+cuisine&osCsid=jiq9kep7ovblvv5ebh44gcqdu0&ID=&x=14&y=5

South Beach Living Fiber Fit Granola Bars - We've recently tried these granola bars, which come in Mocha and S'mores. Both are good, but we're REALLY crazy about the S'mores (and its insane top layer of marshmallow-ish goo!). Each bar has 120 calories, 4g fat, 25g carbs, 9g fiber, and 2g protein (POINTS® value 2*). If you can get your hands on these, DO IT!

Lean Cuisine Mania!



Heads up, frozen-food-chewers!!!! Lean Cuisine's rolling out a SLEW of new "recipes" in limited distribution. (Hopefully, if they're a hit, they'll show up on shelves everywhere.) There are almost too many to name... but okay, we'll do it! Here they are: Angel Hair Pomodoro, Beef & Broccoli, Beef Chow Fun, Beef Pot Roast, Cheddar Potatoes with Broccoli, Chicken Marsala, Chicken Teriyaki Stir Fry, Classic Macaroni & Beef, Fiesta Grilled Chicken, Classic Five Cheese Lasagna, Five Cheese Rigatoni, Linguine Carbonara, Orange Chicken, Pasta Romano with Bacon, and Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto Chicken! These each have 210 - 360 calories, 2 - 9g fat, and a POINTS® value of 4 - 7*. More info to come once we taste 'em. BTW, we'll be adding Tofu Shirataki noodles and steamed veggies to these entrées to make them more filling ('cuz that's how we roll).

Heads up...watch out for those 100 calorie packs! Most of them have trans fats (hydrogenated oils)...and if they're so tasty that we're prone to eating more than one serving at a time...we're getting more trans fats than we bargained for too.
Food manufacturers can add up to 1/2 a gram of trans fat per serving without listing it on the nutrition facts panel on the label. Always look for hydrogenated oils in the ingredients list and that's where you'll catch the buggers.

any idea how much sodium is in those soups? or the oreos?

I saw those little cakesters at the store the other day, they are adorable. I am not a huge oreo fan so I am all good there.

The thing to remember is that most packaged food is going to be higher in things then we'd like... for the most part they have to be to retain taste and shelf life. However, when I am in a rush or need "emergency snacks" I admit to keeping 100 cal packs of various types running around.

I personally LOVE having the 100 Calorie packs of doritos with a sandwich. That way I know EXACTLY how many I am eating.

It's all about personal portion control. Just cause you buy a box of em doesn't mean you HAVE to eat all of em. Cause lets face it...some can do that with a regular box of Twinkies....

YUM!! I saw this on the Hungry Girl website this morning!! I will be huying some. I used to love me some oreos back in the day, could eat 10-15 of them at a time!!:blushing: The 100 calorie packs are a good substitute when you want something "bad" but don't want to binge. Know what I mean? :happy: Just exercise control and don't eat the whole box of them!! Portion control!!
