American recipes

Diner favourites, Tex-Mex weeknights, game-day wings, Southern and Cajun cooking and the Thanksgiving table. Many come in two versions: the classic, and a rebuild that keeps the flavour and scores higher.

Each recipe is scored for satiety per calorie. Lean meat, beans, vegetables and yogurt-based sauces lift a dish; fried coatings, sugar and white bread pull it down. The page puts the most filling first.
