Review
If you're on a perpetual diet, a quest to eat healthy, or just curious about the dietary impacts of dining out, then this handy nutritional guide was written for you. Dr. Lichten uses her expertise as a registered dietitian to tell you the dangers - and delights - that await you in fast food joints as well as restaurants.There's general information about certain types of food, as well as specific nutritional information for an amazing variety of fast food and restaurant chains. Whether you want an idea of the calories and fat grams that lurk in an average hamburger, or the specifics of how much damage a Pizza Hut pepperoni pizza will do to your waistline, you can find it here.And don't think the news is all bad. Dr. Lichten includes lightening-up tips, such as ordering fresh fruit rather than chopped nuts as a topping for your frozen yogurt. If you enjoy exotic foods, you won't be neglected. The book also includes information on what to avoid - and what to order - for healthy eating at restaurants varying from Indian to Italian. -- From Independent Publisher

This review is from: Dining Lean (Mass Market Paperback)
It's easy to control what you eat when you are in control in the kitchen. But, dining out is another challenge altogether. Dr. Joanne Lichten's Dining Lean is an exhaustive reference for maintaining your healthy habits in restaurants. Well researched, yet easy to read and friendly, it is filled with tips, nutrition facts, and specific information on the most popular restaurants. Don't leave home without it! - Mary Guay, author of Don't Diet - Live It!

This is an excellent no nonsense book for dining out,

This review is from: Dining Lean: How to Eat Healthy in Your Favotite Restaurants (Paperback)
I would really have to rank this book above many others when it comes to watching the wasteline in restaurants. This book gives many different popular restaurants, and general ethnic guidlines that so many different books lack. She gives calories, fat, and carbohydrate information. All is clear an concise. In addition to some pretty helpful charts, she shows you what servings really look like in terms of size, and calorie counts of many of our all time favorites. Rather than trying to give you a bad one size fits all approach, she gives wonderful guidelines that you can take with you most any place you can go.

Disappointed but still worth the money.,

This review is from: Dining Lean: How to Eat Healthy in Your Favotite Restaurants (Paperback)
Duh, we all know that if we order our salads without dressing we'll save calories and fat grams so the 'how to order in restaurants section' was of little to no benefit for me. The points of real value to this book, in my opinion, were the guides that help you guesstimate food count information for various food items (for example, muffins are approximate 100 calories per ounce). The book does give valuable information to help gauge serving sizes of various foods and approximate food counts.
