Applesauce works, and so does prune puree - the cookbook I have with
that sort of translation infoormation recommends baby food prunes. I've
tried a cake made with applesauce, I think, and it was nummy. (Applesauce
will work in anything baked, just about, but the prunes need to be
masked by the dark color of the chocolate.)

hi cathy!!!!! :) i wondered if that was you, but marc never told me that
you had shown up, so now i know. :) (wave!!!)
i;ve seen things with prune puree, but i haven't tried anything yet, due to
lck of time....:)
on the other hand, i did try my hand at bagels again...and it seems to be
fairly healthy, as it only contains 1 egg....:)

The cookbook is 'Healthy Homestyle Cooking' by...umm...Evelyn Tribole (not
sure on the first name but the last is right). I haven't had a chance to
try much from it, but I'd recommend it based on what I have.

with egg whites i believe you are susposed to whip them a bit before adding
or add water to it..in cake recipes when you use egg whites in place of oil
and yolks of he eggs they usually add water.
now on some recipes subsitutiing lower fat items doesn't always work..like
a low fat butter doesn't work in some baked goods with out some adjusting.
don't know about low fat mayo or even fat free..
all in all it tekes taking the time to experiment or prepare something I have
been lazy about..:(

recipes...or maybe...oh I forget...I'll have to ask my wife...

Can somebody give me a calories list?

Calorie lists can be hundreds of pages long. Your most comprehensive source
is the USDA list, The Nutritive Value of Common Foods. Other, smaller lists
are available at every supermarket checkout counter.
There are probably websites that list calories as well (help me here, you
advanced technology types).
A word of advice though: Calorie counts are not very helpful when choosing
foods. If I could only get one piece of information about a food, I would ask
for grams of fat per serving. And usually you will want to know the
carbohydrate and protein content as well. A 100 calorie potato chip is NOT
an equal alternative to a 100 calorie apple, or carton of yogurt.

Try http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/ You can get calories for
different quantitites of practically any food you can imagine. Also, all other
nutritional values of that food. (1 kumquat = 63 kcal...)

I must be misreading that.. A single kumquat = 63,000 calories?
With that much energy I'd think there'd be some way to use them
as a weapon..

kcal = kilocalorie = Calorie. The calorie is the "natural" unit of
measure in physics and the defined scientific standard worldwide, but the
kcal is more convenient in dietary usage. Things get abbreviated with use,
and calorie has come to mean kcal when the subject is food.

Exactly. I was pleased that that site has adopted correct terminology. A
calorie is 4.184 joules (exactly). The use of the term calorie for the
kilocalorie in diet needs to be abandoned. Perhaps the best thing would be
to just go directly to stating energy quantities in joules, and avoid the
confusion of calorie vs kilocalorie completely.

Given the bigger numbers that would result and America's generally high
stupidity inertial coefficient, I'd look for that change to be made about
the same time as the conversion to 100-minute hours...

re:0, I'm not sure that I have a favorite 'healthy' recipe yet. But in the
past few months, I've been doing a bit more cooking from 'scratch' instead
of strictly frozen, canned, or premade food items. I've also cut way down on
my pop and instead, am drinking a lot more water. So in the past couple months
or so, I've lost about 10-12 pounds. Which means I need to keep on cooking
on my own on a regular basis. Oh, and I've cut down somewhat on my fastfood
meals as well. :-)

Another grex lost even more than that by giving up pop and getting some
exercise. Congratulations on making these changes and sticking to it.

Thanks! :-) This is partly why I've been posting/asking so many questions
about cooking and food lately! Once I get a couple other projects out of the
way, I'll try and spend a bit more time trying to focus on the exercise thing,
too.

"Another grex lost even more than that by giving up pop and getting some
exercise." I'm sure there probably has been. :-) But as long as I'm not
gaining any more and even better is the losing some is fine with me. I'll be
even happier if it continues, even if its at a somewhat slower rate so the
weight will stay off. In time, I'll be trying to incorporate more exercise
in my day to day life. But for now, one step at a time [no pun intended]; I
want/need to be comfortable with my current goals [more goals than just the
food aspect] and keeping them going before I add something else. I'm prone
to getting overwhelmed pretty easily and then I'm apt to do nothing at all.
