Did you know that the average dinner from a chain restaurant contains more than 1,200 calories and costs $35 per person? Or that the average American now eats 2,533 calories a day? It’s no wonder that the most effective way to control weight, improve health, and boost one’s bankroll isn’t a fad diet or a calorie-restricting nutrition program. It’s learning to cook at home. And now, in the follow-up to the New York Times best-selling Cook This, Not That!, nutrition experts Zinczenko and Goulding save you calories, money, and time with Cook This, Not That! 350-Calorie Meals.

The authors take their winning formula into the kitchen, teaching you to cook and enjoy all your favorite restaurant foods at a fraction of the financial and caloric price. At 350 calories per meal, you can dine up to six times a day and still lose 10 to 15 pounds this year alone!

Features include:

• - healthy recipes for hundreds of the country’s most beloved dishes, from Easy Bake French “Fries” to the Smoothie Operator Ice Cream Float
• - strategies for saving time, money, and calories in the kitchen and at the grocery store
• - chapters filled with life-changing cooking tips and fun sidebars like The Pasta Decoder and Cooking with Beer and Fire

Part mouthwatering cookbook, part insider nutrition strategy guide, Cook This, Not That! 350-Calorie Meals is poised to change the way America cooks.
