I'm looking for a low-cal type of cookbook for myself and family, anyone know of a good one? Thanks.

    I love my very used copy of "Trim & Terrific Freezer Friendly Meals" by Holly Clegg. I think she has some newer cookbooks also.

    I like the series by the Podleski sisters, Looneyspoons, Crazyplates, Eat Shrink & Be Merry and the Looneyspoons Collection. I bought my most recent one at Costco.

    I have never been one to use a cookbook per say, but recently my mom bought me a recipe binder with tabs, sheet protectors, recipe cards, etc... I LOVE the recipes on skinnytaste.com and they are so easy. She does weight watchers so they are done over healthy recipes. She also does photography so a ton of her recipes have step by step photos. There have been a few that I looked up in the middle cause I wasn't sure it looked right lol. Just a thought!

    Not sure if you have a smart phone or an iPad or tablet... but I love the app ZipList (skinny meals) that taste really good... I mean you probably aren't carrying around a cookbook unless you are at home. This is great because you can be anywhere and check out meals, head to the store (has grocery list)... it's really cool and free... check it out!

    It's not a cookbook, but I use skinnytaste.com and have never disliked any of her recipes.

    I was given a the Weight Watchers: All Time Favorites cookbook. I've tried a few recipes from it, and they've all be delicious! I like it because it tells you how to portion out a serving along with calorie counts per serving for each recipe.

    I had Cooking Light Magazines: Chicken cookbook. I went thorugh the whole book and my husband could never tell that it was a healthy cookbook. Some of the things in there were soooooooo delicious

    so much agreeing here that I'm gonna pull a muscle by nodding my head so emphatically.

    Anne Lindsay's Light Cooking: http://www.chapters.indigo.ca/books/35/search/?sc=Anne+Lindsay&sf=Author&s_campaign=goo-BooksByAuthor&gclid=CPWb7-fe6LQCFSPhQgodeysAeQ

    They are easy, tasty and recommended by both the Canadian Hearth and Stroke foundation and the Canadian Diabetes Foundation - also, she has low sodium tips on them that ROCK.

    found some very family friendly recipes in a Biggest Loser cookbook I bought at the grocery store. I wish you were close and I'd give it to you. :)

    Any cook book...and then modify to fit your diet. I have taken recipes from Rachel Ray, Paula Deen, that Pioneer woman lady, and tweaked them to work for me.
