1,000 Low-Calorie Recipes

by Jackie Newgent RD

Overview

“This is a gem of a cookbook. Not only is it loaded with healthy recipes, everything I’ve made from pizza to salad dressing has been a showstopper.”—Tara Collingwood, “The Diet Diva,” Healthline
 
This incredible cookbook is packed with tasty, low-calorie recipes that give home cooks an unparalleled variety of meals and ideas for eating healthfully that their whole family will love. Every recipe clocks in at less than 500 calories, but most are no more than 300 calories per serving. They’re easy to make and take the guesswork out of portion control and calorie counting. Recipes include complete nutrition information, and full menus help home cooks maintain a balanced eating approach—naturally.
 
1,000 Low-Calorie Recipes covers finger foods and snacks; salads and soups; meat, poultry, fish, and vegetarian entrees; breads and muffins; and yes, even desserts and cocktails. You’ll find rustic comfort foods like Five-Spice Turkey Chili, favorites like Pizza Margherita, main courses like Tart Apple-Stuffed Pork Loin, plus innovative recipes that will intrigue and satisfy you, like Caprese Salad Lasagna, Five-Spice Yam Frites, Brooklyn Lager Baked Beans, Homemade Pretzel Puffs, Fudgy Superfood Brownies, and Chocolate Mint Almond-tinis.
