So, thanks to this site, I've also become a fan of the Hungry Girl site as well. There are so many good alternative recipes on there, in their recipe makeovers, is the consistent use of non fat this, low fat that, imitation this.

I personally not only do not care for the low fat/no fat versions of things (especially dairy products) but even more so don't like the idea of whatever preservatives, chemicals, etc. may be in them. I rather use the real deal but much less of it and be satisfied then use a "fake" product and not really know what I'm consuming in addition to not really enjoying.

Anyone else have the same opinion? If so, tweaking recipes to fit into a meal plan is challenging to say the least. Any tricks?
