Inspired by the fact that I am a low fat cooking n00b I was trying to get the PDF's of the 175 recipes which no longer works. So then I thought someone has to have saved the PDFs and made a torrent... I was wrong... if someone has all of them please send them my way and I will happily release.

For now... I stumbled upon

http://lowfatcooking.about.com/

It actually is REALLY good, look under topics to the left, they have ::

Snacks, dinners, appetizers, lunch, pasta, fish recipes ... bla bla bla, all free it seems. And they provide nutritional info after the prep info... not a bad resource.

Just one example :

Mediterranean Cod

1 medium onion, thinly sliced
3-ounces fresh baby spinach (half a 6-ounce bag)
1 pound cod fillets, cut into four portions
1 small zucchini, thinly sliced
4 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
1 14.5 ounce can crushed tomatoes
1 tsp dried oregano
1/3 cup dry white wine
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice

hit up the link to get the prep instructions, I'd post em here but that would not be jiggy w. them probably. :gl:

my only beef with that is that lots of the delicious recipes are really high in sugar :(

Yea i've been noticing that too. They all aren't 100% healthy, low in fat yes, healthy no. I'm tinkering with some recipes substituting real sugar with protein powder & splenda.

I made that recipe and let me tell you I was not satisfied. I definitely thought it was going to turn out pretty good but unless you like cottage cheese it probably isn't for you because the cottage cheese taste is really strong in this and it makes it pretty bad in my opinion.

edit: Scratch that, for some reason it tasted a lot better today. I think it must have tasted weird yesterday because I ate a ton of candy and that raped my taste buds a bit.
