When you start getting serious about your diet and nutrition, you start getting in touch with meals that are between 300-350 calories.  If you are eating every 3-4 hours and keeping your body fueled properly, the magic calorie count for each meal is between 300-350 calories. 

Rocco DiSpirito knows all about meals that are 350 calories or less.  When Rocco himself started training to get his own body in top notch form, he realized that all the foods he had previously made as an acclaimed chef were not going to cut it if he wanted to slim down and be healthy.

His new cookbook, Now Eat This 150 of America’s comfort foods all under 350 calories brilliantly takes dishes, like crab cakes, from 1140 calories down to 290 calories.  Brilliant! 

Rocco slimmed down his body 30 pounds by eating meals from his new cookbook without feeling deprived.  After all, the cookbook contains dishes like macaroni and cheese and even brownies.  Very impressive, Mr. DiSpirito. 

Sam Zien, aka Sam The Cooking Guy, has a fantastic cookbook out called Just a Bunch of Recipes.  I picked mine up from the library, but can already tell, this will need to be a purchase for me; this will definitely be added to my massive cookbook collection.  It’s comprised of great recipes, everyday recipes, with a healthy twist.  His recipes are nutritious and healthy, but not painfully so.  Not to mention, Sam is a riot to watch or read.  It’s a fun book.  Thumbs up!
