I so have to try these frozen burritos! 7 grams of fiber and fewer than 200 calories?! AND ...Are these the worst snack of 2010?

Read the Evol burrito review HERE

I hope these are better than the Bear Naked Granola--these were acquired/put out by the same dudes--which neither I nor my husband liked. :)

I have not had any frozen burritos that I really loved, and those were more than 200 cals. We shall see.

I have a huge weakness for Mexican food. If these babies are numsy, it's nice to have an easily nuked product to enjoy with fiber. Yes, I like having great poops. Bring on the beans!

Snack Girl says THESE are the worst snack of the year. I don't know if I'd agree with WORST, but I do think these suck the big one. I tried them when they first came out and went, "Ick" and threw out the rest. Even hubby, an Oreo-lover, thought they sucked. These in no way remotely satisfy any sort of cookie craving for me. And they certainly don't taste like Oreos. They are overpriced and Snack Girl is right on the other points. I'd rather have two of the real things for the same calories  (which are also crap, but they are addictive and tasty crap) than this pack. Then again, my junk treat of choice lately has been Coconut Pocky--which is crap that's 74 calories per serving. Save 26 calories and get more flavor and that Pocky "crispy-snap".

What's your worst snack of the year?

Day 3 Spawn of SoDDD Challenge: Finally a wee drop, shivering in Miami AM, ready for Pilates, and need to get more fiber!

Tanita-san said good morning with this: 240.2

Okay, minor drop given my caloric intake. :) But a drop.

It's chilly for Miami. I a nudie-sleeper have had to sleep with two t-shirts the last three nights. Hubby has gone to bed wearing three layers, including a hoodie--with the hood UP--and sheets, blankets on top. We can't (and won't) put the heat on cause I fear it might spur allergies. We have never used the heater in any place we've lived, not in 27 years. Not starting now.

I like not sweating. Yay.

Got Pilates in an hour, so I gotta shower and dress and make sure my feet are in pumice-happy shape (hey, when you get your body bits close to a trainer's face, you make sure you are sparkly sweet-clean and feet are smooth).

This morning, I had a micro-poop. Pathetic. Checked SparkPeople tracker and I only had 16 grams of fiber yesterday. WHAT? I'm the queen of fiber. I've had days of 60+ fiber regularly this past year. I better watch that. With fewer calories, I can't get lazy. Hubby wants pasta tonight, and I have a high fiber pasta (18 grams of fiber per serving!) Yeah, tomorrow, poopy blast-off!

Tomorrow hubby gets hair trimmed, I get a protein treatment, so we can both look purdy for the Seraphic Fire Christmas Concert in Coral Gables.

So, another Spawny day. Water, lower calories, movement....and as Allan says, "patience."

If You Like Chili Mac (I do!) and If you have naturally curly hair...

727 days to go...

I love beans. I love tomatoes. I love ground beef (or the fakey soy crumbles you can use like ground beef). I love cheese. I love it mixed together, and I love it mixed together and then thrown over pasta.

These days I use super-high fiber pasta from FiberGourmet as my first choice (though I still have a stash of DreamField's higher fiber pasta to go through). Hubby loves chewy texture that holds up to next-day reheating. I like that we get a super dose of fiber. (Not the gas, but, hey, fiber! Filling and regulating!)

So, if you want to make a less diet-deadly version of Chili Mac than, say, Steak and  Shake's version, visit Hungry Girl's remade recipe of this comfort food, that is, if you like the following stats for 1.5 cups of the stuff:

Serving Size: 1 3/4 cups
Calories: 297
Fat: 2g
Sodium: 637mg
Carbs: 55.5g
Fiber: 9.75g
Sugars: 11.5g
Protein: 19g

POINTS® value 5*

If you're doing the WonderSlm diet, you can add the veggies, more spice to the Vegetarian Joe and throw that on half a cup of  FiberGourmet pasta and top with lite sour cream or lite cheddar and you're set. A little carb cheat, but you get lots of filling fiber that shouldn't spike up your sugar.
