An Easy Guide To Low-Cal Food 

For shameless food porn addicts (or the dejected, guilt ridden ones who use PostSecret as a cyber confessional), there's nothing better than a good food blog that's riddled with fantastically unique recipes and exceptionally liberal with high resolution photos of mouth watering morsels. The only problem most of us find with this Internet addiction is that the dishes we virtually stumble across (and are usually the most appealing to us) are off the charts in calories. Why, Food God? Why? Well, there's a solution. Low-fat alternatives exist just as much in the blogosphere as they do in our cupboards; you just have to know your way around the kitchen. To make your life easier, here are the top 5 best healthy food blogs that are easy on the eyes and easy on the diet.
