So I am a cookbook collector, and am need of some great low calorie tasty cookbooks. I would prefer more practical ones versus the gourmet ones that require 30 ingredients and takes 2 hours to prepare/cook. Lack of time and the need for quick meals is part of the reason why I have turned to meal delivery for the last couple of weeks. However, I have the cooking itch and have suspended my orders after next week's order arrives. So anyway, bottom line is I would love recommendations of your fav cookbooks.
I got the Hungry Girl cookbook - the 200 under 200 one. 200 recipes under 200 calories. Found it at Walmart! Lots of low cal versions of some normally high cal food. I have tried one or two things so far and they are delish. You can also see it here:
It's not really a cookbook, but the website eatingwell .com is great. They have tons of recipes, lots of variety, and they give all of the nutritional info (which I notice a lot of sites don't do, making it harder for calorie counters!)
I love the hungry girl book. It catches a lot of grief because she does use processed foods, but its all about calories. 200 recipes under 200 calories are great for snacks, and add a little more and I can make them into meals. I play with the recipes a lot and it helps me get out of ruts of eating the same things over and over and over.
Thanks much! I will have to check out the Hungry Girl book, and the website looks promising! It is definitely frustrating when websites don't put the nutritional info ugh! Thanks!
Calorie Counters...What are your fav cookbooks?
