I received a copy of the Perfect Portion Cookbook for free in return for an honest review. Opinions are 100% my own.

When I received this book I was thrilled because I had never seen a book that shows simple ways that delicious looking comfort food can be split into 100 calorie portions. I know that I should have something like a 2200 calorie diet. Do I stick to that? No, I just don’t and that has gotten me into some very serious trouble. I am very overweight, have health problems because of overeating and I need to get things under control. I still want to eat food that I enjoy and I enjoy comfort food.

Portion control is probably my biggest problem. If I like something I eat and eat and eat. So, if I can stick to the 100 calorie portions and eat the amount of calories that I should plus work out as I already am, I just might be able to get healthier and maybe lose some weight. I’m not saying that this is a weight loss book but it makes sense to me. If I don’t overeat then good things are going to happen for me.

The book not only has recipes but it also has meal planning and also tips for staying fit and also exercises for burning 100 calories.

Allison and I looked through the book and we decided upon the French Toast and Egg Cups. Both were delicious for a Breakfast for dinner night. The egg cup is super easy to make and Allison said that she could make those ever morning. The French Toast was also easy to do and I enjoyed them without butter or syrup, too. I can’t wait to see what else we like form the book.

FOOD LOVERS REJOICE: EAT WHAT YOU LOVE WITHOUT OVEREATING WITH THE PERFECT PORTION COOKBOOK
– 150 Guilt-Free Comfort Food Recipes using Happy Days’ TV star and director Anson Williams – a 100-Calorie Counting System to Stay Fit and Healthy –

BOSTON, Mass. – Butter, cream, cheese. What’s not to love? Inspired by Happy Days TV star and director Anson Williams’ own challenge to remain healthy, fit and energetic at the remarkable age of 65, comes The Perfect Portion Cookbook. It is a first-of-its kind, food-loving guide that tackles the timeless question of how much to eat with a simple idea of a 100-calorie counting system applied to the best-loved American comfort foods. Two years in development and many meatloaves later, co-writers Bob Warden, a New York Times best-selling cookbook author and Mona Dolgov, a top nutritionist have made over 150 guilt-free recipes from mac & cheese to lasagna that are clearly shown in simple 100-calorie portion servings. Without worry, consume what you want, in the portion that is right for you. The Perfect Portion Cookbook is now available after its February launch on QVC.

“It’s not always what you eat that is the problem, but the decisions on both how you eat and how much you eat,” said Dolgov, a nutritionist and recipe developer of thousands of on-trend recipes in the food products industry. “The Perfect Portion Cookbook helps you find joy in your favorite comfort foods and safe harbor away from processed and empty calories with culinary tips and nutritious tricks like better-for-you ingredients that are positive steps toward a healthier lifestyle.”

With well-loved perennial favorites like apple turnovers, chicken pot pie and chili to game day appetizers of flatbread pizza, sweet & sour meatballs and Maryland crab cakes, each recipe denotes the suggested serving size. Soup ladles, ice cream scoops and slices help visualize and measure meals in 100-calorie increments. Single 100-calorie portions may serve as snacks, while 400 to 600-calorie portions of protein, veggie and sides make an ideal dinner serving. For example, The Perfect Portion Cookbook’s Quiche Lorraine has 12 slices and each slice is 100-calories. The recommended breakfast portion is 2 slices, or 200 calories.
