This guide contains the best and most complete information available in a pocket counter. It was written as a reference to make healthy food choices. About 3,000 commonly (and not so commonly) eaten foods are grouped into easy-to-find categories and then listed alphabetically allowing the reader to track calories, carbohydrates, carb choices, protein, fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, sodium, and fiber. Charts and tables are included to determine daily nutrient goals. HealthChequesTM Carbohydrate, Fat & Calorie Guide helps people with everyday nutritional concerns such as estimate daily nutrient needs, determine carbohydrate grams, define number of fat grams by calorie level, confirm the number of calories used during various activities and gives records to track blood lipid (cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglyceride) levels. Categories also include brand-name products, fresh foods, vegetarian dishes and many more, listed in an easy-to-use format.

This review is from: Carbohydrate, Fat and Calorie Guide : A Complete and Up-To-Date Guide for Carbohydrate, Fat and Calories! (Paperback)

I have many books that count calories, fats, and carbs. They are usually too big to lug around or dont have many of our favorate foods listed as we know them, making them a chore to use. This is the only calorie counter you will need, its small and surprisingly has 99.9% of the foods we are eating at your fingertips. Unless u are a Doctor, this book will be fine for your everyday use. I have several other calorie books and this one is the one I USE daily.

The Carbohydrate, Fat and Calorie Guide has been an immensely powerful and helpful tool in helping me to make healthier food choices. Because it is pocket-sized and easy to read, the guide is incredibly convenient and simple to use. It is the best and most practical Carb, Fat & Calorie Guide I have found on the market.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have book, July 17, 2000

This review is from: Carbohydrate, Fat and Calorie Guide : A Complete and Up-To-Date Guide for Carbohydrate, Fat and Calories! (Paperback)

My son is an insulin dependent diabetic for 15 years. He had been counting carbs for 5. He recently began pump therapy so counting carbs is essential in determining how much insulin he needs to bolus for. We were given this book from a friend and were so happy with it we have begun recommending it to other pump wearers. The book is small enough to carry with all his other supplies. It has everything in it from fast foods to family fare. So easy to look up the information he needs...saves time...eliminates the need to calculate foods. For a 16 year old it's perfect. A much needed book for any diabetic. Good job!
