But...that being said and throwing caution into the wind here goes.
I've found three cook books that really provide great nutritional information and healthy eating, low fat recipes. The first is my most recent purchase wich is titled "Eating for Life" written by the afore mentioned Bill Phillips. The second is titled "New Dieter's cook book" by Better Homes and Gardens. This one is particularly good because it provides a ton of choices and it provides the total nutritional information and a picture of the item in question.
One other good one is Jane Brody's Good Food Gourmet. You have to read carefully each recipe you are considering but she gives good information about each examples nutritional content.
Healthy eating can be good as well as good for you.
Hope this helps

Don't worry that I'll take it wrong. I know that good, healthful food can be made, but I have more fun taking ostensibly healthful ingredients (not healthy. It's picayune, but fish is healthful, but if you eat it and it's healthy, it with probably flop around violently when you bite down, <i>capisce</i>?) and making the kind of grease and sugar laden food I have a talent for cooking. F'rinstance, one can make a passable Double R Bar burger with Boca Burgers.
However, be it known that there is only one diet: Eat less and exercise more. Start pushing Atkins, and I will open up a can of figurative whoopass and post some recipies for it here. But if you want to start posting heathful and tasty recipies, go for it. And if you want to pop into one of my heartattack on a plat posts and scold or improve, I'm cool with it.
