Calorie counting is back! read a recent headline in the New York Times. Evidence: more and more companies are producing 100-calorie snack packs, New York now requires calorie counts from all restaurants with 15 or more outlets, and Congress is considering two acts that would standardize calorie labeling nationwide.
Now, EatingWell, publisher of EatingWell Magazine and the 2008 James Beard Award–winning EatingWell Diet cookbook, is making it easier to count calories at home with EatingWell 500-Calorie Dinners: Easy, Delicious Recipes & Menus.
The book opens with sound nutritional advice from some of the country’s most esteemed weight-loss experts on how counting calories is the best, most sustainable way to control your weight. It includes hands-on advice on how to create satisfying meals that won’t leave you hungry, proper portion sizes, and shopping and menu-planning tips.
