 Good Pocket Guide July 18, 2008
432 out of 434 found this review helpful
This book is written for Americans who eat out, especially at the fast food chain restaurants. The calories/fats/carbohydrates counter is very practical for people on the go who have to keep themselves in check. The most practical of all is its pocket size which enables taking it with you whenever and wherever you go out to eat. It would be even more practical if the unit of measurement were also given in metric system. At this time they are only given in imperial system that limiting the use of books to USA, UK and maybe a few other countries.
I suppose that this book can be of a grate use for diabetics. On the negative site it is a pity that the book limits itself to dishes served in restaurants and, especially, the fast food places. In that sense it reminds me of Eat This Not That!: Thousands of Simple Food Swaps That Can Save You 10, 20, 30 Pounds-or More!.
For me this book is only a calories/fat/carbs counter, although the author attempts to make of it a health guide and tries to tackle other topics such obesity, osteoporosis, diabetes etc. For those interested in reading more about healthy nutrition, and for those who prefer to shop for ingredients and cook their own meals I strongly recommend the chapters about obesity, proper food combination, body cleansing, and other aspects of healthy life style in this other great book.
 A book you can count on. December 14, 2007

Absolutely the best all around calorie counter. Why? Because the book is small (fits in a purse easily), easy use, well laid out, and extremely complete- even has calorie counts for many major restaurants! A book you just can't beat for the price, I highly recommend it for anyone counting calories, fats or carbs. Also recommend The Sixty-Second Motivator for readers who have had difficulty sticking with a diet plan.
A must have December 3, 2003

Last year I was diagnosed as a diabetic. While not an extreme case I still needed to start watching my carbs and weight. The problem is while watching your carbs and fat is easy at home, it's extremely difficult to do so while traveling. My wife and I went on a long trip last summer driving across a good chunk of the US. We were afraid my new diatary needs might spoil the trip a bit. I mean who wants to spend the whole time on vacation worrying about what you're going to eat all the time? This book allowed me to be able to stay within my carb and fat limits even when eating at places like McDonalds, Burger King or your average roadside diner.The book has a ton of practical applications for someone trying to watch their calories, fat or carbs. One last thing. Do not let the word "pocket" make you shy away from this book. Yeah, it can fit in your pocket but I looked through a number of full sized nutritional guides before finding this one and none of the $30 books has as much information and especially practical information as this book. By the way. I lost 30 pounds and I'm in the best shape of my life!
This will come in very handy. November 21, 2003

These little books are so handy to have around if you want to eat out and still watch what you eat. I have had the 2002 and 2003 books and they are so good to have. If you are single and eat out a lot, if you are a college student who cant cook or just don't have time but you want to have some control of how much fat or calories you are eating this is the book for you! This book has just about every fast food place you can think of plus a ton of restaurants and just everyday food items. It breaks down fat, calories, carbs, protein, and many more for you, for just about everything you can imagine!
Want to go to Burger King or McDonald's, or even Taco Bell but you don't want to ingest 10,000 calories and 700 grams of fat this is the book you should have. It will tell you everything you want to know about every item on the menu (unless the item is brand new) so that you can make a smart decision about what to eat. Things like instead of getting a Whopper that has like 48 grams of fat in ONE sandwich, you will see you can get the chicken sandwich with no mayo for on 8 grams of fat. A much better choice! Or you go by carbs if you are watching them or just by protein, calories, or all of them. You can finally eat healthy or low fat (to the best of your ability, this is fast food) and still eat out! If you are someone who has just always wondered about how many calories are in a taco or someone who counts them everyday this is a book you should pick up for sure!
The best calorie, fat and carb book out there! July 15, 2004
24 out of 26 found this review helpful
I have been using calorie counting books for years and this is by far the best and most comprehensive I have ever seen. It includes 170 fast-food chains, many of which you would never find in other calorie books. It also has a very useful index in the back, so you can find items very quickly and the book is small enough to fit easily in a purse. Very highly recommended!
