>> it could be a mini seizure located in the language area. a seizure can be caused by almost anything that can affect the brain from a brain tumor to infection. >> reporter: medical experts say the fact that there is video of the incident may actually help doctors determine a diagnosis. >> serene thanks everyone for their concern and good wishes and hopes to be back on the air very soon. >> reporter: a wish no doubt shared by her colleagues and everyone who watches her. for "today," kristin welker, nbc news. the nephew of the dalai lama was killed last night along the florida state highway. he was struck by an suv while taking part in a 300-mile-long walk for tibet. the driver was not charged. from generation to generation for 3,000 years the ancient tradition of falconry has been kept alive in asia through the present day. falconers are testing golden eagles and hawks in a competition that shows off the bird's hunting skills. it is now six minutes past 9:00. now back to matt, natalie and al. >> it's cold out here. >> our crowd has doubled to the point where our viewers actually now out number the crew members out here. >> wow. >> that worked out well. where are you from? >> new york. >> just hanging out? >> we're going out in our pajamas. >> you're not really. >> we are. >> why? did you get up late? >> we're having a slumber party for dr. oz. >> oh, dr. oz. if i were you, i would have people check these folks out. let's check your weather. they are angry and in pajamas. we have a big storm coming in the pacific northwest. a winter storm warning in the cascades, tahoe. along the coast, anywhere from two to three inches of rain down to monterey bay. you go inland, the sierras and we are talking the cascades from two to four feet of snow. look at the temperatures. yesterday, 52 in boston. 22 today. by friday, up to 56. ditto for new york city and washington, d.c. >> it is a breezy and chilly start on this tuesday morning. we will take up a significant amount from the temperatures yesterday. low 40's this afternoon. low 40's this afternoon. and that's your latest weather. ann? ♪ money, money, money >> this morning, keeping your spending in check with a debt diet. credit card debt is on the rise for the first time in two years so it's important to set a budget and stick to it for successful financial health according to our experts jean chatzky and mandy walker. good morning to you both. this is interesting. not only savings are down in addition credit card use being up. what explains this? >> we saw credit card use top for the first time -- revolving credit card use and i think consumers are tired of saving money combined with the fact that the spigots have opened a little bit more for debt and consumers are taking advantage. >> a little bit more at christmas, too. and they are saving a little bit less. savings is down to just over 5% of pretax income up to 7% at the end of 2009. consumers say -- we ask them about financial troubles they have had and they say they are having trouble paying bills again. they have had negative changes in the credit card terms. >> you really want to flash warning light this is morning a little bit and say to people -- in fact, i wonder why we have to, given that we have just gone through this terrible downturn in the economy. you think if that didn't teach us to save money, what wille? >> we need reminders. it's like a regular diet. it's not that people don't know they need to eat less and exercise more. >> it's like chocolate. >> sometimes we have to remind ourselves to spend less and save more. we can tell you how. >> you're going to tell us how this morning. j number one, you suggest to budget backwards. save first. >> save anywhere from 10% to 15% of what you bring in every single month without fail. once you do that, i don't care what you spend your money on. go spend it however you want. put that savings aside first. by the way, the money in a 401-k and the matching dollars count. we get that question all the time. >> and you should max out contributions. no matter how young you are and how much should you donate? >> it can make a big difference. we crunched numbers over two decades and found someone who put the maximum in their 401-k versus someone who put the 7% in gets $36,000 more. that's after paying taxes. it can make a significant amount of money. $16,500 away if you're under age 50. an additional $5,500 more. >> here's the thing. if you put 3% in, 4%, just increase it by a percentage point. just try it out. i guarantee you that you won't miss that you're doing it. take it up by another point and eventually you get to the max. >> and matches are up this year. more companies are reinstating them which had eliminated them and some are adding them. >> there's good news. also you say to consider using home equity. how? >> well, you can tap your home equity in the form of refinancing the mortgage which is not the easiest thing to do now. the paperwork is a bear. >> but the rates are so low people want to do it. >> the rates have topped a little bit, but home equity lines of credit are more available than they used to be. i have had this debt diet out for a long time. when you look at i it, the most popular thing people want to do is find money to reduce interest rates, reduce debt, using home equity debt is a terrific way to do that, but make sure you don't go out and charge the credit cards right back up again. if you don't think you have the willpower to leave your hands off the plastic, leave the home equity alone. >> that puts your house at risk. >> we have two more and not a lot of time. get your portfolio in shape. how? >> well, you want to make sure you have the right asset allocation for future goals. they are online calculators and questionnaires to help. vanforward h vanguard has a great one. check it once a year to be sure you are in the right place. >> if not, put it in a target date retirement fund. they will keep you balanced if you're not going to do it yourself. >> be smart with the tax refund that's coming in. >> split the difference. >> don't buy a new coat without having done that. >> absolutely. yes, ma'am. both of you are giving good advice this morning. jean and mandy. coming up next, should you eat six small meals to lose more weight?

joy, good to see you. >> hey, al. >> we have lauren in beachwood, new jersey. what's your question, lauren? >> i hear people say that you should eat five to six small meals a day or three regular-size meals a day to lose weight. i'm not sure which is the right way to go about doing it. >> good question. >> really good. the truth is that one eating style over the other is not more effective when it comes to losing weight. the key is simply to make smart food choices and to control the collective amount of calories you eat at the end of the day. for weight loss it should be between 1200 and 1600 calories. i find people typically choose to eat the traditional three square meals a day because of hectic schedules and it's easier to socialize that way and we have a heartier appetite so you get more volume less frequently. if that's the direction you choose, you want each of the three meals to be between 350 and 500 calle ories. that gives you room for a snack. if you want nibble meals be a stickler for portion size. keep those mini meals mini which is no easy task. they should be between 200 and 250. that's a banana with a tablespoon of peanut butter, rice cakes with cottage cheese or half a sandwich. choose whichever you like. they are equally effective. just watch your calories. >> good luck. >> thank you. >> the next question from sarah is something i have been wondering. she's on the phone in new york. good morning. >> caller: good morning. >> your question for joy? >> caller: my question is about coconut water. i have heard how hydrating and how great it is for you. i want to know if it's worth the extra calories and if you're better off sticking with plain old water. >> coconut water is only worth the extra calories if you absolutely love the taste or you are a serious endurance athlete. here's why. companies can claim coconut water hydrates you better because it contains some electrolytes, things like potatoes y potassium and sodium. it's the same science behind sports beverages. we know for serious athletes exercising longer than 60 minutes at a time -- for example, marathon runners, hikers or serious basketball players, they do better when they sip on a beverage. they have more staying power and they have better hydration when the beverage has carbohydrates and electrolytes. now, for everybody else, who either is not a serious athlete or a casual exerciser, plain water does the trick fine. then it just boils down to drink the coconut water because you love it and account for the calories. one cup has about 45 calories. eight to ten grams of sugar. natural sugar but it's still there. and 40 to 100 milligrams of sodium. water is free of all that stuff. >> do you think it's better than sports drinks? >> it's kind of a wash. it really is. it does have good things in it. if you like the taste, by all means, drink it. there is no magic to it. >> last one is a viewer e-mail from colleen writing, what is the difference between soft spread marge rarine and hard st? are either good for you? >> soft tub spreads clearly win. the story is that butter has a lot of saturated fat which drives up cholesterol. most stick margarine has a worse fat. it's the trans-fat which drives up bad cholesterol and lowers the good. the nice part about soft tub spreads, they have zero trans-fat. look at your favorite brand, look on the nutrition panel, make sure it says 0 trans-fat and look in the ingredient part to be sure there is no high dodge nadroj nated oil. for purists try the whipped butter. there is a lot of air incorporated into the butter to drive down the calories and fat. it tastes delicious and it's in a soft tub. >> thank you. still to come on "today," we're going to show you what's in vogue with jill martin in her fun finds. first, these messages. eggland's best eggs. the best in nutrition... just got better. even better nutrition -- high in vitamins d, e, and b12. a good source of vitamin a and b2. plus omega 3's. and, 25% less saturated fat than ordinary eggs. but there's one important ingredient that hasn't changed: better taste. better taste. better taste. yum!
