Hungry Girl help...

I got a few of the Hungry Girl cookbooks from the library because I am trying to find recipes to stay within my calorie limits each day. However, browsing through her books, I've noticed that she uses a lot of sugar replacement products (like Splenda, etc.) and sugar-free versions of packaged products. However, I don't like using that kind of stuff. I understand she uses it because if you used regular sugar, it would push the calorie count much higher. There are some recipes where she doesn't use these products which I like but there aren't as many as I was hoping for. So I was wondering if anyone knows anyone or resources that have low calorie recipes that use healthy ingredients and not as many packaged items or sugar replacements? Thanks!
