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

By	T. J. R. "way up north" (Eagle River, Wisconsin USA) - See all my reviews

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.
