    skinnytaste.com is great for healthy recipes, and you can search by dietary restriction (vegetarian, low carb, etc.). If you are not on Pinterest, it's worth joining just to find and organize recipes. You can run a search for exactly what you want (dinners under 400 calories, low-carb chicken recipes, healthy slowcooker recipes) and find lots of tasty recipes from a wide range of sites all in one place.

    Open a Pinterest account! Just type in what you want to make, "healthy recipes" or narrow the search down to healthy chicken and you'll find everything! You'll even be able to "pin" your recipes for later and create different "boards" of interest They have an awesome app for on the go to! Once you try it you won't go anywhere else! :)

    I second Pinterest. I usually make it and if I like it I print it out and 3-hole punch to make my own book

    Tosca Reno has several books on clean eating. She and her husband were the editors of Oxygen magazine before he passed. The magazine also has clean eating recipes. Here books are very good.

    Skinnytaste is awesome, but I also like www.slenderkitchen.com, www.cookinglight.com, and www.eatingwell.com.

    Pinterest! If you're an Amazon Prime member, there are a ton of cookbooks available for free through Prime Reading and KindleUnlimited (if you have the KU membership)

    My personal favorites are the green pepper philly cheese steaks, spaghetti squash lasagna, and the zucchini taco boats. I use 99% lean ground turkey in place of any recipes calling for ground beef. Check it out and let me know what you think! Good luck!

    My favourite cookbooks are LooneySpoons, Crazy Plates, Eat Shrink and Be Merry and the LooneySpoons Collection. I like them because they give the nutritional info about each recipe, they use just regular ingredients that arent hard to find, there is a wide variety of recipes, including international based ones, they include everything from appetizers through soups, salads, pastas, sides, poultry, beef and even desserts and breads. I have one or the other open on my kitchen counter on any given day. Tonights dinner is a meatloaf recipe with extra lean ground beef, bbq sauce and other yummy stuff. It will tell me that it makes 6 servings, and what each serving will be calorie wise, as well as carb counts. The recipes keep my meal rotations from being bland and boring.

    I have been cooking out of them for well over a year now and have lost over 100lbs.

    I think just about any recipe prepared using scratch, whole/minimally processed ingredients is pretty healthy and good for you. I get pretty much everything I do off of Pinterest. You can manipulate calories by using less oil, less cheese, etc.

    I second Emilybites.com and also DashingDish.com. Some recipes are free, but I pay the $7 a month to get all of them. Her zucchini lasagna is heavenly
