    I second this! I made a recipe for roasted red pepper cheese dip/spread that is AMAZING and very low-cal. I shared it at work, and most of my coworkers kept asking me to live with them so I can do their cooking...lol

    I love this site. Everything I've made from it so far is great. The Taco Cupcakes, the Buffalo Chicken Wraps, the Philly Cheese steak sloppy joes, the Chicken Quesadillas. I'm getting hungry now.

    Try sparkrecipes.com, they also have an app for it. Lots of different recipes on it. Skinny taste is also pretty good.

    I don't have any specific websites that I use. I find its more helpful to learn how to effectively modify recipes and learn about healthy foods.

    When I want to find a low calorie version of something I usually google it.

    Most of the time my search results in a good recipe from skinnytaste.com but there's a ton of others out there too

    Skinnytaste.com
    hungry-girl.com (a little hard to search, but has good recipe ideas)
    cookinglight.com
    allrecipes.com (not necessarily healthy recipes, but has nutritional info for almost every recipe)

    ^ No problem. It's definitely my favorite low cal food site. Forgot to mention, she usually posts the MFP calorie info on her recipes as well.

    eatingwell.com and someone mentioned cooking light. if you eat pork, google cooking light pork loin lime cilantro tacos. in fact, i'm making them tomorrow night. my whole family LOVES them. the are the bomb. especially if you use red onion - and we use yellow corn tortillas instead of flour...
