Did you know the average dinner from a chain restaurant packs more than 1,200 calories and costs nearly $35 a person? After years of investigating menus and dissecting nutritional information to help diners make smarter choices, the authors of the blockbuster hit Eat This, Not That! understand the perils of eating out better than anyone.

Now, they’re back with the best cash-saving weight loss weapon of all: a book filled with decadent yet low-calorie recipes, healthy cooking techniques, and plenty of savvy nutrition strategies to help you eat better and lose weight without ever dieting again.

Keep $9.46 in your wallet and 510 calories out of your belly by trading Romano's Macaroni Grill Primo Chicken Parmesan for our crispy version blanketed in gooey cheese. Save 400 calories and $5.76 by waking up to the moistest, lightest Blueberry Pancakes you've ever tasted — complete with luscious blueberry compote — instead of ordering IHOP's "back-to-bed" calorie bombs.

	Our sizzling Grilled Flank Steak will send Applebee's version running for the border with a savings of 970 calories and $7.29! You'll be hooked by how fast and easy it is to spare yourself 756 calories and $11.18 when you choose our Honey Mustard Salmon with Roasted Asparagus over the Outback Salmon Griller. Have your cookies and slash 240 calories and $1.03, too (without resorting to applesauce, protein powder, or Splenda). Just whip up a batch of our honestly scrumptious Chocolate Chip Cookies!

If you have time for all that, then trust us: You have time to Cook This, Not That!

Plus, you'll actually spend less time in the store than you usually do, because you'll shop once and eat for a week, instead of having to pop in every night to find something edible.
