What's in your World Series Taco bell freebie?

Jason Bartlett of the Tampa Bay Rays may have not been on the winning team in the first game of the World Series but he did win America a free taco by stealing a base in the Rays 3-2 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies Wednesday night.

What we want to know is will we strike out on our diets if we eat it?

Turns out the free crunchy beef taco will only set you back 170 calories. There are 10 grams of fat and 3.5 grams of that are saturated fat. But there's no trans fat and you do get 3 grams of fiber and a somewhat respectable 350 milligrams of sodium.

You can snap up your free taco between 2 and 6 p.m. your time Tuesday, Oct. 28 at any particpating Taco Bell.

Hunger, is that you?

It's funny: Now that I'm a stay-at-home mom, I find it much easier to cue into my hunger signals. When I was at a desk all day they kind of short-circuited. Prevention magazine sent out an e-mail over the weekend linking to an article here on how to tune into your hunger cues. Here are their 6 tips, which are fleshed out in the article:

  1. Learn to identify your spot on the hunger scale.
  2. Refuel every 4 hours.
  3. Eat breakfast without fail.
  4. Build low-cal, high-volume meals.
  5. Munch fiber all day long.
  6. Include healthy protein at each meal.
