...no weight loss yet.

To be fair, I did have a huge dinner and some of Meagan's MandMs.

Today I discovered a new favorite – Safeway's Eating Right Cookies and Creme Crisp Nutrition Bar. It was soooo good. I would actually buy this instead of a candy bar and like it just as much. However, it doesn't deserve high marks in every category.

Taste: 10
Nutrition: 8 (For such a little bar it packs a lot of fiber - 5 g. I didn't give it an excellent rating because it also has 3 g of fat. However, I do love that it's only 100 calories).
Hunger Control: 7 (Not too bad for being so small. It might be that it tastes so good it leaves you feeling like you just had a good dessert)
Cost: 6 (It's pretty expensive at it's normal price - $1. You would expect to only pay $.50 for something so small that is actually a store brand)/
Overall Score: 7.75

I also tried the Sweet Red Pepper Soup from V8. Maybe the problem is that it's a Campbell's soup. In my opinion, Campbell's soups don't hav
e much taste. As I said yesterday - I expected so much more from V8 - especially with the Red Pepper. You expect a Red Pepper soup to be pretty intense on taste, but it seemed more like a chunky bland tomato soup with a little pepper flavor. I would not buy it again.

Taste: 3
Nutrition: 8 (I do like that it has so much fiber for a soup and only 120 calories per serving. It also has 20% of your vitamin A)
Hunger Control: 7
Cost: 4 (I wanted more for my money)
Overall Score: 5.5

I'll let you know if I lose weight tomorrow...
