Customer Reviews

Not so good...
I bought this book thinking it would be a great calorie counting book. It's not. It's hard to find generic food types unless you eat all frozen, canned, prepared, or certain restaurant foods and never make your own. I live in the midwest and most of my familiar places to eat aren't even in the book. Calorie King is a better book by far.

very useful resource
We got this because my husband is diabetic. It has been helpful in making better food choices.

Comprehensive listing
This is a comprehensive listing of both natural foods i.e. flour, apple, string beans and manufactured foods i.e. canned chili, frozen dinners which provides not only calories but carbohydrates, fat, protein, cholesterol, sodium and fiber, You can find it all in this book and keep track of exactly what you are eating. It is an invaluable resource.
