Q: Some of your recipes call for ingredients (like chicken) that are already cooked. What’s the best way to cook without adding any fat?
A: There are so many simple ways to cook chicken, shrimp, and beef without adding fat and calories. Just cook your food in a pan with a spritz of nonstick spray, boil it in a pot of water, or steam it in the microwave or over the stove. Easy!
Q: Typically, HG recipes include Weight Watchers POINTS® values. Where can I find Weight Watchers POINTS® values for the recipes in this book?
A: Good question. If you’re a Hungry Girl fan, you know how much we love and support Weight Watchers. Their plans are healthy, easy to follow, and can fit into your lifestyle. That’s why we co-developed a bunch of recipes with them for this book. For a listing of POINTS® values for all the recipes in this book, go to hungry-girl.com/book.
Q: Where can I find photos of all the recipes in this book?
A: While the book is cute and pretty as is, we know it’s important to see photos of our recipes. Luckily, we have pictures of every recipe in this book online at hungry-girl.com/book (and a bunch in the book, too!)
Q: Why are there so many single-serving recipes in this book?
A: Throughout the years, we’ve heard over and over how easy Hungry Girl recipes are to make, and how often people prepare food for themselves. Single-serving recipes are ideal for this reason, and HG subscribers always eat up (pun intended) these made-for-one recipes. That being said, it’s easy to double, triple, or quadruple any of the single-serving recipes — so you can adjust them to feed as many hungry people as you like. Just don’t quadruple a recipe and eat the whole thing yourself, or you’ll be in BIG trouble!
Q: How can you have FAQs about the book when this is your first book?
A: Yep, we’ve been caught! These aren't really frequently asked questions. They're actually questions we anticipated you might have. But “QWAYMH” didn't sound as good as “FAQs.” Now quit asking so many questions and start readin’ already!
For tasty and low-calorie recipes of onion rings and chocolate cupcakes, see below
One large serving
INGREDIENTS
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Cut the ends off of the onion, and remove the outer layer. Cut onion into 1/2-inch-wide slices, and separate into rings.
Using a blender or food processor, grind Fiber One to a breadcrumb-like consistency. Pour Fiber One "breadcrumbs" onto a small dish, and mix in salt and any optional spices you like.
Next, fill a small bowl (just large enough for onion rings to fit in) with egg substitute. One by one, coat each ring first in egg, and then in the "breadcrumbs" (give each ring a shake after the egg bath).
Evenly place rings on a baking dish sprayed with nonstick spray. Cook for 20-25 minutes, flipping rings over about halfway through.

INGREDIENTS
Place chocolate chips and the contents of both cocoa packets in a tall glass. Add 12 ounces of boiling water, and stir until chips and cocoa mix have dissolved. Place glass in the freezer to chill for 25 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Once cocoa has chilled, give it a stir and mix with all other ingredients in a mixing bowl. Whip batter with a whisk or fork for 2 minutes.
Spray a 12-cup muffin pan with nonstick spray, or line it with baking cups. Evenly spoon batter (which will be thin, but don't worry — your cupcakes will puff up!) into the pan. Place pan in the oven, and bake for 15 minutes. Cupcakes will look shiny when done.
Per serving (1 cupcake): 108 calories, 2.5g fat, 239mg sodium, 19g carbs, 1g fiber, 12g sugars, 2g protein
