Low calorie recipies
Low calorie recipies makes a great headline, but
what is 'low calorie'?
I'm no dietician, I'm just a cook, but it seems
to me that a quick
look at a few reference books suggests that to maintain a steady
weight, women need to eat 2000 calories a day and men 2500.
Using this as a starting point I decided to
describe any
recipe that provides less than 250 calories per serving as 'low
calorie'.
