Hungry Girl's 200 Recipes Under 200 Calories

When Lisa Lillien grew suspicious of the great-tasting pastries from a local store that were advertised as low calorie, she decided to put those claims to the test. After lab results confirmed that they had twice the calories as stated, a light bulb went off in her head. She began e-mailing the information she discovered about foods to 70 friends and family members, and then created a daily e-mail that mushroomed into a website with 800,000 subscribers! Today, Lisa and her staff of 10 spend their days in the test kitchen creating healthy recipes and testing the dozens of products they receive each week. It's all part of Lisa's "Hungry Girl" philosophy: "It's not about going on a diet or being on or off a diet - it's about finding foods that can fit into your lifestyle forever and still feel satisfied." Lisa's latest book, *Hungry Girl: 200 Under 200*, contains 200 recipes that are under 200 calories. "I live by the 80/20 rule," she explains. "Eighty percent of the time I'm being great, 20 percent of the time I'm going a little crazy and eating things I shouldn't. This book is about finding those swap foods that you can use in your everyday life to make the food you want to eat and still fit into your cute jeans!" Lisa heads to the kitchen to demonstrate one of her recipes that would be perfect for Lori, a self-proclaimed fast food addict who would like to make a change in her eating habits. Instead of Lori's favorite chicken sandwich from Chic-fil-A, Lisa suggests using Fiber One cereal as the breading to create a delicious meal with a third of the calories and a fraction of the fat! Try Lisa's ["HG's Crispy Chicken Sandwich"](/food/recipes/hgs-crispy-chicken-sandwich/) recipe, which you can make a side of her ["Lord of the Onion Rings."](/food/recipes/lord-onion-rings/)
