making progress

My Mother loaned me a copy of this book and I have been using it for a while. I am finally begining to make a little progress on my diet. It has been a suprise to see just how many calories I was taking in in a days time. I had to order another book so I could give my Moms back. A good book of calorie counts.

Very Good Book

I have several "Calorie Counter"-type books. Some are more useful than others. This book's great strengths are: The amount of information included; the accessibility of that information; the inclusion of information on grams of fat, carbs, sodium, fiber, fat and cholesterol per serving; and the unswerving inclusion of units of measure for serving size. (If you've ever picked up a cheapy calorie-counter book at the supermarket you know that sometimes you see an entry or two with no unit of measure. Very frustrating.) I use it all the time whereas some similar books I own are ready to be donated someplace.

Great

This a really good refrence for the RDA. It is in a layout so easy to understand. Plus it gives you the different types of a natrual food is served, and the nutritional facts.

A lot of information here!

With over 30,000 entries, this is really a complete book. Actually you could call it a table, since it is neatly organized in a wonderful layout, in a small package. My only complaint is that the serving size doesn't have its equivalent in grams, as shown on the front cover. Reading the comments and reviews about other books, I couldn't find a single feature worth buying another book on the subject.

Very handy

A very handy book for anyone who cares what they put into themselves. I appreciate the more useful serving sizes and more numerous listings for whole and natural foods, compared to Corinne T. Netzer's The Complete Book of Food Counts which seems more concerned with prepackaged and fast foods.
