Aug 21, 2009
The 100 Calorie Snack Cookbook by Sally Sampson has arrived at a good time. With 100 calorie snack packs all the rage in the grocery stores, and obesity on the rise, most everyone could benefit from eating a lower calorie diet.
All Kinds of Snacks
The 100 Calorie Snack Cookbook contains more than 200 different recipes, all 100 calories or less, with a few being one to three calories over. The author has included something for everyone, with snack varieties including
- Soups
- Salads
- Vegetables
- Eggs
- Grains
- Desserts
- Drinks and more
The Recipes
Some of the recipes are for a complete version of the snack, with only one serving being equal to 100 calories. Therefore, the user has to be very careful to follow the serving recommendations if he or she wants to stick to the “100 Calorie” snack. Each recipe gives very clear instructions on how many servings it includes and how many are equal to 100 calories.
Most of the recipes have a full color, attractive picture accompanying them. It definitely helps the recipe seem more appealing to have a good looking food photo beside it.
Nutrition facts are on the same page as each recipe, including
- Calories per serving
- Calories from fat
- Fat
- Saturated fat
- Cholesterol
- Sodium
- Carbohydrates
- Dietary fiber
- Protein
Snack Preferences
There are snack preferences in the cookbook to meet everyone and anyone’s needs. Salty, crunchy, carbs, proteins, vegetables, salads, beverages, cookies and brownies, frozen desserts, and fruit desserts including ice creams and sorbets are included in the cookbook.
Bonus
The author has also included veggie, juice and candy servings that are equal to 100 calories as well. 16 cups of arugula might or might not meet one’s snacking needs, but it is still only 100 calories, although 29 M & M's might be more appealing and still only 100 calories!
Dieting
The snacks are great for a diet, or just healthy snacks. Sticking to a low calorie diet is not easy, but the 100 Calorie Snack Cookbook will definitely make it easier. The variety in snacking that the recipes offer will keep one on-track with a diet plan. It’s easier to stick to a low calorie weight loss plan when one does not feel deprived in any way.
