Summary: Indispensable resource. Wouldn't want to be without it.
Comment: Together with a calculator, this book is indispensable in monitoring one's intake of the major macronutrients, etc. I first heard of it at the website of Dr. C. Everett Koop after learning how many grams of protein, carbohydrates, fat and fiber I should have every day for my age, height, sex, frame size and activity level, and I am glad that I was able to find it on this website and buy it. Despite the fact that under Fat only the Total number of grams of fat for each food item is listed rather than this as well as the number of grams of saturated (bad--cholesterol-raising) and unsaturated fat which is information I need from time to time, it gets five stars because it is so comprehensive and well organized. Not only does it list many unprocessed foods, but also many packaged and processed foods as well as fast foods, and its size and format enable the reader to find out what he need to know quickly and easily (and just about anywhere that he happens to be). Because I had had high cholesterol and need to watch my intake of saturated fat as well as total fat, I did buy another book here which does provide that information, The Food Bible by Judith Wills which I also recommend if you can buy two on this subject. However, I wouldn't want to be without this one especially since it is so complete and includes such a wide variety of foods in such a user friendly manner. It is been especially helpful to me in keeping my weight under control ( I am female, 5' 3 1/2" tall and I am just plain unhappy if I weigh more than a pound or two more than 107--which, with this book at hand, does not happen--it is NOT always necessary to count every calorie-just getting an idea of the number of calories in the foods that one eats on a daily basis can help one to exercise enough portion control so that problems don't arise in the first place. This book is the best resouce that I have for that). Highly recommended for implementing a healthy, balanced diet!

Summary:
PRIMO!! GET THIS BOOK BEFORE YOU BUY ANY OTHERS!!
Comment:
Corinne Netzer's COMPLETE BOOK OF FOOD COUNTS delivers even more than it promises, in a very handy 4" wide by 7" tall by 1-3/4" thick size that is easy to carry along to work, restaurants, and shopping.
This book has at least 10,000 name brands, restaurant foods, and basic foods in it and includes calories, carbohydrates, protein, sodium, cholesterol, fat and fiber for each food. Netzer has managed to pack it all into an easy-to-read and easy-to-use format. PHENOMENAL!
This one is definitely a keeper and the best I've found!
I bought three other references (one that was supposedly a fat counter, another an all-in-one refernce and the other a cholesteral guide) at the same time I bought Corinne T. Netzer's COMPLETE BOOK OF FOOD COUNTS. If I had gotten Netzer's book first, I could have saved a lot of money because I didn't need to buy the others. Not only is Netzer's book complete and more comprehensive than the others, it is less expensive than any of the others, too!
Since this is such a useful book, it would make a great gift for anyone on your list. They needn't be on a diet or be a "health nut" to be happy to have an up-to-date and useful reference!

Summary: Sound, well researched information
Comment: I am a physician in private practice, and I subspecialize in bariatrics (weight management). All of my patients are given a copy of this wonderful reference when they begin my program, and it has proved to be extremely helpful.
