About Health eCooking®

 

The Health eCooking recipe database has been developed to help people make healthy food choices when creating their personal eating plans. Each Health eCooking recipe is reviewed and approved by a registered dietitian who ensures the recipes meet the dietary guidelines to be part of a Heart Healthy diet according to the recommendations of the American Heart Association, part of a Diabetes diet according to the recommendations of the American Diabetes Association and/or part of a Gluten-Free or Bariatric diet according to the guidelines set forth below.

 

Each Health eCooking recipe contains a nutritional analysis including: Calories, Fat, Saturated Fat, Cholesterol, Sodium, Carbohydrates, Fiber and Protein.

 

No brand names. Health eCooking does not endorse or promote any specific food brand. We make every attempt to use food and products that are readily available in communities across North America.
