3.0 out of 5 stars Misleading title, January 9, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Calorie Counter For Dummies (Paperback)
This book is mistitled, it should be "Calorie Counter for Fast Foods and Restaurants". It's great for that, but it's not a general calorie counter book. There are 400 pages for restaurant items, and 13 pages of general food calorie information.

2.0 out of 5 stars Book Cover Misleading, April 13, 2010

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Calorie Counter For Dummies (Paperback)
The book cover is misleading. Most of the book is dedicated to eating out at fast food restaurants. The cover should state it's a restaurant guide. I was looking for calories of individual foods. Since I don't eat at fast food places, this book will go into my yard sale box.
Amazon verified purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars a great on the go guide!, January 4, 2010
By 
This review is from: The Calorie Counter For Dummies (Paperback)
I bought this handy little reference before my husband and I made a trip across country. We're normally health nuts, but on the road it becomes very difficult. The Calorie Counter For Dummies definitely helped us navigate the healthiest choices at the fast food and restaurant stops on our journey. It was fantastic to be able to make informed decisions about what to order at places you don't correlate with eating healthy and there wasn't a place that we stopped that The Calorie Counter For Dummies didn't have info for! Best purchase I've made in a long time.
