1.0 out of 5 stars Not so good..., January 26, 2009

This review is from: The Complete Book of Food Counts, 8th Edition (Mass Market Paperback)

I bought this book thinking it would be a great calorie counting book. It's not. It's hard to find generic food types unless you eat all frozen, canned, prepared, or certain restaurant foods and never make your own. I live in the midwest and most of my familiar places to eat aren't even in the book. Calorie King is a better book by far.

This is a comprehensive listing of both natural foods i.e. flour, apple, string beans and manufactured foods i.e. canned chili, frozen dinners which provides not only calories but carbohydrates, fat, protein, cholesterol, sodium and fiber, You can find it all in this book and keep track of exactly what you are eating. It is an invaluable resource.

I belong to Weight Watchers. I recently reached GOAL. This book of Food Counts has been immensely helpful in figuring out the points for certain foods. Even if you're not doing Weight Watchers (which I strongly recommend) this book will enable you to know what foods are helpful to you in losing weight. Good luck and enjoy this wonderful, helpful book. I buy a new book every time a new edition comes out.
