Customer Reviews

WASTE
I purchased this book because I was looking for a quick reference calorie guide. I recently started keeping a food journal and needed something I could carry around in my purse. The book is useless, it only includes calorie counts for prepackaged food. Why would I want that? Prepackaged food already has the calorie counts on the packages. I would use the Calorie King book. Infinitely better and more compact.

It wasn't everything I wanted
I wasn't in love with this book. It wasn't everything I hoped for. The online information didn't really tell enough about the book. It's small print, kind of hard to really read. The area for the "fast food" section wasn't for my part of the country.

Useful if you eat out a lot.
If you eat out a lot and you want to get a general idea of which foods carry the most calories, this is a pretty good book. It does not ONLY include details on packaged foods from the grocery. It also includes numbers on foods from restaurants and popular fast food joints. These places DO NOT advertise their nutritional facts often, for example; it's kind of useful to see that a Chick-fil-A milk shake has 800 calories.
