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.

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!

The ultimate in pocket sized calorie, fat and carbohydrate counters. This book provides a complete listing of several important nutrients which is useful for a variety of disease conditions and special diets. This book was written by a Registered Dietitian (the nutrition experts) and not by some one who just calls themself a "nutritionist" which makes the information research based and reliable. There are several helpful pages in the back of the book which help you tailor your nutrition goals to your individual needs. There is even a place where you can enter information about favorite foods that aren't listed in the book. A must have for people trying to lower cholesterol, control their diabetes or trying to follow a healthier diet.

I really liked this book. I bought it to help count fat and cholesterol but it really is small and thin, perfect to carry around everywhere in my purse. And it has all the necessary information on tons of real, everyday foods.

This is a "must have" book. In seaching for a good book for my parents I was drawn to this one because it was written by Registered Nutritionists. Since my parents started using this book my mothers blood pressure has gone down and my fathers cholesterol has lowered. I was so impressed with the results that I gave one as a gift for my aunt with diabetes. I found it very easy to follow and convenient to carry with you. There is even a section for your favorite foods, medications and keeping track of your cholesterol, blood pressure, weight and other important information. I would highly recommend adding this book to your shopping list.

I take this book with me on most of my travels. When I am on one of my quasi-diets it is very useful. It is small and concise. Occasionally I can't find some kind of food but for the most part everything is there. Even covers most pre-packaged and fast foods.
