Summary: Best pocket size calorie counter available
Comment: This is a must have book for weight management. It is the most comprehensive counter available and i look forward to the 2002 edition.
I don't count carbs or eat fast-foods so i find it amazing reading some of the reviews here.(perhaps these people would be better off carrying around a large hard copy, complete book of food counts so they can find what there looking for) This is a pocket sized book which can be kept in your pocket it has the most comprehensive and uptodate listings and i can easily find most foods. I don't know what some of these reviewers eat but very rarely do i find a food that is not listed.

Summary: Wow! What a source of info!
Comment: I've had to switch to a low-fat diet, and part of that entails counting calories and fat grams. What fun! I remember the old-style paperback books that list figures in tiny little print, and didn't include any of the items one might encounter while eating out. What a chore!
Well, this little pocket-sized book has made quite a difference in my attitude about keeping track of nutritional information! This is a very small book, but the pages are well-planned and deliver a LOT of information in a very understandable way. The first section of the book gives a much-needed refresher on basic nutritional guidelines, healthy eating, and strategies for eating out (what to look for, what to avoid). Then the guide continues with the "traditional" format of listing foods by type (meat/poultry, vegetables, soups, etc.), including brand names and regional brands. Data of each type (calories, fat, etc.) is laid out in columns, but is also keyed in color to help you remember what number goes with what heading.
The section on chain restaurants is perhaps the best and most comprehensive listing I've ever seen in print. Even though the amazon title states 80 fast-food chains are included, the current version actually lists 101 chains, including all the big national chains and many regional or smaller ones. Menu items' nutritional content is broken down more completely in this section (e.g., fat is also shown as % calories from fat and saturated fat content) -- this is extremely helpful in making smart choices while out and about. There is also a web site associated with the book, that contains additional nutritional information as well as updates to the material in the book.
I love this book so much I have two for myself (one for home, one for the car) and bought one for my mother! I highly recommend this as a very useful tool for anyone who wants to get a handle on their eating habits and start making more informed dietary choices.

Summary: Good But Missing a Few Things
Comment: What's there is great! What is missing is too important. This guide has a vast variety of foods listed, and covers some bases other books do not. What is missing is too important - there are no listings for Cholesterol or Good and Bad Fats. It is too important to the diabetic dieter or to any dieter to know these things! I found the book informative - and generally useless beyond basic information found in other books.
