I hate cooking and I'm not afraid to admit it. But I knew that my wife and I had to change the way we eat to live a healthier lifestyle. This book has all the basic facts you need to know about healthy cooking. The recipes are very simple and they taste great. I was afraid that the recipes were going to taste bland and not have a whole lot of flavor but I was completely wrong. We have tried at least 6 recipes so far, and they have been fantastic. And on top of that, they are so easy to prepare. I highly recommend that you pair this book with the Bigger Leaner Stronger (male or female versions) that Mike also wrote. The books go hand in hand. You will see some information that is redundant, basic nutrition facts, between the two but that is fine. Its in case you have one book and not the other. But it is all useful in the end. Hands down this is the best cook that we have bought and actually look forward to continually using it.

This book is a steal, for just shy of $5 you get a book full of over 110 recipes designed to help you meet your goals, get ripped or get big.
The book starts off with a short and sweet but effective rehash of some basic tenets of healthy eating and nutrition. The author provides you with some great baseline nutrition goals to meet based on your desired outcome. Don't skip this section! There's a lot of good info here so take a look before you get started.
Each section of the book is split between heavier meals (more calories,protein, and carbs) to help you gain muscle mass and lighter meals (less of the aforementioned items) to help you keep your calorie intake low if you are working towards weight loss goals. Each recipe is preceded by a breakdown of calories, protein, carbs, and fat so that you can get an idea of what your daily intake is going to look like if you're someone like me who plans their meals out in advance.
Along with providing recipes for all major meals, there are also sections which cover salads, protein shakes/bars, and desserts. The protein bar and shake sections were of particular interest to me due to the fact that in their manufactured form both are kind of pricey and don't really taste all that great to me. Having these recipes to turn to as an alternative is a great way to supplement your protein intake during the day without breaking the bank.
All in all this is a great book and when purchased as a Kindle version is worth far more than the price you'll pay for it. This has become a mainstay for me in order to help keep my weight in control as well as maintain and build lean muscle mass.
