Quick and Easy 400-Calorie Recipes

Four hundred super-simple, mega-satisfying meals that cover your every craving and desire, from wholesomely hearty breakfasts to decadent treats that won’t break the (calorie) bank.

For people looking to shed pounds and live more healthfully, eating meals in the 400-calorie range is your secret weapon to weight-loss success. Not only do these meals fuel your energy, rev metabolism, and keep you feeling full longer, but they also help you stick to a daily caloric range of 1200 to 1500 total calories, which is ideal for tipping the scales in your favor. With Quick and Easy 400-Calorie Recipes, you can reap the benefits of these low-calories meals without spending hours in the kitchen.

Perfect for anyone trying to pursue weight loss while living a busy life, this book works by expertly focusing on nutrient-dense, low-calorie ingredients that you can eat in abundance--such as leafy greens, artichokes, and berries--and combining them with smaller portions of equally filling foods like whole grains, beans, eggs, and poultry.

Featuring recipes for every meal, plus snacks, treats, and drinks, Quick and Easy 400-Calorie Recipes will help you lose weight without letting cooking and planning weight-loss friendly meals take over your life.
