Can I trust a Magazine Recipe?!
I was making red chile-cheese enchiladas, anyway it says that this recipe has
calories 173, fat 5.4g, protein 8.8g.
Can I really trust this recipe not to make me big?
Answers: Ok I want to know if I can give my trust to this recipe I found in a Cooking light Magazine. Anyways it asks me for fat-free cottage cheese, shredded monterey jack cheese, 2 tablespoons finely chopped onion, 1/6 teaspoon salt, red chile sauce, corn tortillas, shredded reduced fat extrasharp cheddar cheese.

That sounds about right per serving, none of those ingredients are very high in calories of fat content. You can also buy 2% shredded cheese at most super markets, so that will cut a little more fat out of it.
Remember a serving is about as big as your fist, and I'm assuming that is what they are going by (it's pretty standard)
the mag is legit- as with anything watch now much you eat--guidline--serving size-ss tells you what is actually a normal, healthy serving and they do not oversize it ex--McD's small ff are still more than a normal serving size
Yes you can trust the recipes in magazines. One meal is not going to make you big.Getting big happens over time not by eating just one meal.
I have received Cooking Light for years and have always had success with their recipes. They work hard to figure out great substitutions for ingredients that tend to be fattier and they always taste delicious. Most food in moderation is good for you as long as you enjoy preparing and eating it. Isn't that what its all about?
Yes just use the proper measurements that the recipe calls for.
