Hungry Girl: 200 Under 200: 200 Recipes Under 200 Calories

Comment: Like others said this book is based on Fat-free, processed type replacements. Replacements also include that of most meat, yes you get the occaisional turkey or chicken recipe but most is tofu and Boca "meat-free" ingredients. If you are a vegetarian looking to decrease the carb load, this is the book for you. I prefer to cut down the portion sizes of my meat, potatoes, dairy, fruit and vegetable diet. I guess I'll keep searching for a cookbook with healthy options but with real food. This one is getting returned!!

Comment: The recipes are under 200 calories because of the fake sugar and other low-calorie substitutes. Not at all what I expected.

Comment: If you are a fan of Hungry Girl, then you know how awesome this book is. And if not, you need to get addicted to realize how awesome this book is. Quick and simple recipes to make 200 calorie snacks, meals and desserts. Soooo happy I broke down and finally bought it!

Comment: By using just a few simple substitutions and adjusted cooking methods you can stay satisfied without sacrificing taste! Genius! I am incorporating the recipes into my weight watchers plan and staying full and not feeling like I am depriving myself.
Small suggestion...I personally do not like shirataki noodles, so just sub out some whole grain pasta. I make the "fettuccine hungry girlfredo veggie explosion" all the time. So indulgent tasting!

Comment: I find that I never have the ingredients for these recipes. Also, if I were go to buy the ingredients, most would go to waste since the recipes call for very small amounts of each ingredient. Not very convenient or inexpensive :(
