The 1200-Calorie-A-Day Menu Cookbook by Nancy S. Hughes (1994, Paperback)

With the recipes in this book I found that in order to keep the meals low-calorie/low-fat you had to cook with ingredients that are processed and artificial such as butter sprays and butter seasonings, light margarine, non-fat cheese and other diary, and egg substitutes etc. I guess I was looking for more of a healthier way to cook low-calorie meals. Most of the recipes are not easy to make if you are in a hurry. I found most to be labor intensive with ingredients you would not normally have as a staple. Another con was that all the recipes served 4 to 6 people. Not good if you are alone, unless you don't mind eating the same thing for a few days in a row. Also....no pictures. It's nice to see what you're cooking.
