I got this as a gift and LOVE it!! The 100 cal packs in stores are so expensive and not that tasty, but the recipes in this book are fantastic tasting and easy to make! This is the number 1 gift for me to give my friends now. Great to give the dieters and cool enough to not offend! We're all ADDICTED to it at work.

This book basically teaches you how to make miniature meals. I am a "grazer"; I love to munch on things throughout the day. I was hoping for a book that would tell me how to make low cal pita chips or super jazzy popcorn. It does not and I, for one, have no desire to create intricate mini meals...that completely defeats the point of snacking!

Yeah they have lots of 100 calorie snacks, if you eat 1 or 2 of the items in the book. Good recipies, I like a lot of them, but once you look at the size of the recipie, and then the serving size your like...why bother if your looking at it for diet purposes.

This booked seemed like the book for me because I am always looking for healthy snacks to eat at work. They even have the calorie count for each item, but this book is not what I thought at all. The front cover is in color and it does have a nice spiral bound, but the inside is completely black (blue) and white. The only pictures are on the title pages for each section. I like pictures to entice me to want to make that recipe because it looks so good. The titles of these recipes did the opposite. "Citrus Fennel and Garlic Olives," "Stuffed Polynesian Pears," "Boiled Grapefruit," "Fennel Brushed Grilled Oysters." These don't exactly scream "yummy" to me. If you are really adventurous and are looking for meal recipes instead of snacks, buy this book. I will be returning mine.
