Review of 366 Low-Fat, Brand-Name Recipes in Minutes!: More Than One Year of Healthy Cooking Using Your Family's Favorite Brand-Name Foods (Paperback)

Although the recipes in this book look like they are tasty, if you analize each recipe you'll see that they are far from low-fat.The serving sizes are very often miniscule in size and the fat calories are usually up around 50+ per serving.
Examples:Pecan and Red Onion Bread (page 70) serving size 1/2 slice, calories 130, calories from fat 45
Almond Fish Fillets (page 221) Serving size 4 oz. (equal to a deck of playing cards), calories 185, calories from fat 81
Grilled Italian Pork Chops (page 231) Serving size 1 chop, calories 166, calories from fat 90!
One-Dish Oriental Chicken and Rice (page 239), Serving size 4 oz meat + 1 cup rice and vegetables, Calories 339, calories from fat 63
Picadillo Rolls (page 242) serving size ONE ROLL, Calories 299, calories from fat 117!
Salmon Florentine (page 245) serving size 8 oz, calories 301, calories from fat 117
Hidden Valley (R) Club Salad (page 137) Serving size 2 cups, Calories 267, calories from fat 126
Remember that a 4 oz. piece of meat is the size of a deck of playing cards.Yes, there are a few recipes in the book that I would consider low-fat, but the majority are not.As any calorie counter, like myself, knows, the amount of fat per serving on the above examples are often a whole days allowance!
I highly recommend you not purchase this book, but search for a truly low-fat cookbook.This one is great for an everyday meal, but certainly not for those who wish to lose weight.
