4.0 out of 5 stars Provides nutrition information; fast-food restaurants, June 21, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Guide to Healthy Restaurant Eating (Paperback)

This volume had detailed nutritional data (calories, fat contect, fat grams, sodium, cholesterol content, etc.) on many fast-food items. Included are common items from McDonalds, Wendy's, Arbys, Taco Bell, KFC, Subway, Hardee's, Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts to name a few. Also included the equivalent food exchanges for the foods listed.

For many restaurant chains it highlights some of the 'healthier' items available.

The data has been compiled on many items from these restaurants, but not every menu selection is listed.

A useful guide to keep at your desk or in your car to assist in making healthier eating decisions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent guide for healthy restaurant eating., November 6, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Guide to Healthy Restaurant Eating (Paperback)

This is an excellent guide for helping you eat healthy food at restaurants. The restaurants listed are many of the major chain restaurants, especially fast foods. In addition to hamburgers and pizza, Denny's and Baker's Square are included to help you find nutrition information you can use for coffee shops in general.
PRO: The only book I've found that includes American Diabetic Association Exchange Diet information in addition to information on other nutrients for other diet or food plans.
Cons: The only criticism I have of this book (and a minor criticism at that) is its lack of information about Greek or Japanese restaurant food because they are not chain restaurants. Nevertheless, this book is quite extensive in giving you the nutrition information on many foods found in popular restaurants.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good reference book!, October 2, 2001

By	KimberlyinMN (Frozen Tundra, MN) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Guide to Healthy Restaurant Eating (Paperback)

This is a great reference book to have on hand if you eat out in restaurants often. I finally am living in an area where most of the restaurants listed in the book can be found. I really need to get another one to keep in the car.
