After recently having wt. loss surgery, it has become necessary to learn foods that were high in protein. This book was very helpful in finding the protein count I needed.

My husband needs to control the amount of protein he eats a day. This book is excellent for this purpose. It's easy to use and very complete. It also includes the calories and fat grams for all the items listed as well as brand name items and restaurant chain foods.
