Go-To Blogs / Websites for Healthy Recipes

My favorite is EmilyBites. Her recipes are easy and delicious and she provides all the nutritional info for you! Only problem is that she only posts 1 or 2 recipes a week so I am in need of some other options.

What sites do you use to find healthy recipes?

I love the Damn Delicious site, and skinnytaste.com is absolutely fabulous!! I like it more than Damn Delicious.

Sparkpeople.com . There are so many recipes it is wonderful. You even have the ability to do a recipe "makeover" if you change a recipe. It is really great and very convenient. I use that site for recipe and this one to log.

skinnytaste.com is my go to site. Delicious meals, usually pretty easy and healthy.

I have been trying out some Skinny Taste recipes and am loving them!! Can't wait to try out some of your other ideas!

Another vote for skinnytaste.

But never trust the calorie count given for recipes online. Enter your own ingredients in the recipe builder... it can be WAY off.

The Taste of Home website has a healthy eating section. I like those because they appeal to my love of easy cooking!

Agreed! Plus I usually mess with the recipes and/or portion sizes. I do appreciate it when sites post the NI though so I can get a ballpark idea. I don't want to go through the effort of inputting in all the ingredients until I know I'm going to eat it!!

In addition to the few mentioned above I use foodily.com. It may not be a diet website per se, but you can easily find something that fits based on whatever you feel like having that day. Here is what I do:

I see what I have available or what I feel like eating then enter it into the search, let's say "eggplant". It pulls up all the recipes that have eggplant in them. Take a quick look at the info under the pictures and you will find an entry called "calories per gram" under nutrition. So if an eggplant recipe has 4 calories per gram, it means I would be eating roughly 125 grams (4.4 ounces of food for the entire meal) of that recipe if my meal allowance is 500 calories. That's not enough to satisfy anyone, so that recipe is out. Now another one has 0.8 calories per gram. That's 625 grams of food (1.4 pound) for a 500 calorie meal! That's a lot of food - that recipe is in.

In general I go for foods less than 2 calories per gram.

Sometimes it's not accurate, due to the way the website parses recipes (example including the weight of the water used to boil pasta or misjudging some of the ingredients), but it's a great general gauge.

Interesting thread. I like the Dam Delicious site, too.

That sounds like a really cool tool!! I will have to try it out. Always looking for meals that are low-cal but still have large portions!
