Hungry Girl: Single Servings

If, like most of us, you're guilty of downing entire bags of snacks or pints of ice cream in one sitting, single-serving foods and snacks can be lifesavers. Check out some of Hungry Girl's favorite one-serving food finds.

T. Marzetti Pack-a-Snack Fat Free Caramel Apple Dip 160 calories, 0 grams fat, 39 grams carbs, 0 grams fiber, 2 grams protein

You can watch your weight and enjoy gooey caramel! Each little tub (which is really more like two or three servings) has just 160 calories and absolutely no fat. Heat it up and dip your apple slices in it, or add a teaspoon of it to your favorite hot cocoa, or sugar-free hot apple cider for a sinfully sticky caramel surprise.

Jolly Time Healthy Pop Minis Kettle Corn Mini Bags 90 calories, 2 grams fat, 23 grams carbs, 8 grams fiber, 3 grams protein

Have you been known to devour an entire bag of microwave popcorn in one sitting? Jolly Time has solved that problem with their individual packages of Smart Pop Kettle Corn. Salty and sweet, each 90-calorie bag produces four cups of popped kettle corn. HG Tip: Keep a few bags in your desk at the office.

Soup at Hand New England Clam Chowder 110 calories, 6 grams fat, 12 grams carbs, 0 grams fiber, 3 grams protein

Sure you can always find a good red clam chowder, or a reduced-fat white clam chowder, but every once in a while you need to have the real thing. Campbell's Soup at Hand has the answer. Each portable 110-calorie serving has enough to keep any creamy clam chowder lover happy. Clam it up!

Nabisco 100 Calorie Packs, Wheat Thins 100 calories, 3 grams fat, 16 grams carbs, 2 grams protein

Wheat Thins are addictive. So I have been avoiding them for years. Nabisco's 100-calorie pouches of these light versions of the cracker classic make it easy to enjoy the perfect amount of the sweet, wheaty snacks. I keep these in the car for emergency purposes. They definitely beat a trip to the drive-thru.

Jell-O Sugar Free Pudding Cups, Chocolate and Vanilla Swirl 60 calories, 1.5 grams fat, 13 grams carbs, 1 gram fiber, 2 grams protein

Just when you thought guilt-free Jell-O Pudding couldn't get any better, along come Sugar Free Jell-O Pudding Cups. With even fewer calories than their fat free Jell-O Pudding counterparts (60 vs. 100), these cups are the ultimate in diet-friendly dessert. Perfect for anyone who wants portable pudding, or for those who are simply too impatient to wait hours for boxed pudding to chill, these decadent little desserts are convenient and delicious.

HG Tips!

If you simply cannot find your favorite food or snack in single-serving packages, separate into individual servings (using Ziploc bags or small containers) before storing.
Read labels carefully. Don't assume that the small can, bag or box contains one serving. Chances are it doesn't, and you'll need to double or triple the nutritional info to get an accurate idea of what you're consuming.
Look for individual serving sizes of foods that can easily be overeaten ‑- like ice cream or chips.
Keep single-serving foods that travel well in the glove compartment of your car, or in your desk at work. Chances are they'll be a more reasonable alternative to the drive-thru window or whatever's in the pantry at work.
