Chapters are divided into:
under 200 calories,
under 300 calories,
under 400 calories and
under 500 calories.

Most recipes have a second option using most of the ingredients in the first option and tweaking it a bit. Calories per serving are given for both options. (Most recipes are for 4 servings.)
