Betty Crocker 1500 Calorie a Day Cookbook makes it easy to build a full day of meals to reach your desired daily calorie count, clearly organized so you can customize what works best for you. Chapters are organized into Breakfast; Lunch; Dinner; and Side Dishes, Snacks, and Dessert. To reach 1500 calories, just pick one recipe from each chapter to create a full day of meals. If your calorie needs are higher or lower than 1500, the "A Little Bit More" and "A Little Bit Less" tips throughout let you customize recipes to increase or decrease the calorie count, such as by adding a topping or replacing ground beef with ground turkey. Clear organization and 4-color design makes it easy to pick out recipes from each category. Additionally, the calorie count for every recipe is clearly highlighted at the top of the page. Intro section shows how to calculate your target calorie count, and gives sample menus with total calorie counts, plus calorie charts for common foods, and an exercise chart showing how many calories are burned by doing various exercises.
