Everyone in the world but me probably already knew about Epicurious.com, but here is another, and it is actually a blog sent to me by a client. The healthy recipes sound really creative (and apparently tasty from the looks of the comments): http://seaweedsnacks.blogspot.com/
To every question about health or nutrition, the answer is always the same…Vegetables, Vegetables, Vegetables!
CALORIE KNOWLEDGE
The HMR Calorie System is the most accurate and reliable source I know. Since it is a system that you memorize, you never have to consult a book or website, you can figure out exactly what you are eating, never be misled by inaccurate labels and you can never (try as you might) forget it. It can be learned in a couple of hours, and you will never need another resource. As a back up or alternative to this system, there are websites you can join,. However, I don’t think that they are ever as accurate as assessing what is actually in front of you!
METABOLIC RATE INFORMATION
Nothing can compare to The Body Gem device which measures accurate (to within 1%) resting metabolic rate.
