DISCOVER HOW TO PUT PROTEIN TO WORK FOR YOU


Every day your body needs protein to build and replace millions of cells. And your need for protein goes up during stress, exercise, weight loss, illness, injury, pregnancy, and after surgery. Now, the two nationally recognized registered dietitians and nutritionists who created the national bestsellers The Fat Counter and The Cholesterol Counter give you the most complete, up-to-date protein information:


• Protein, fat, carbohydrate, and calorie values for 15,000 brand-name and generic foods, including energy bars and drinks, and soy, organic, and vegetarian products

• Tips for using amino acid and protein supplements

• Four easy steps to find your personalized daily protein requirement based on your activity level, sex, weight, and overall health

• How muscles actually use the protein in the food you eat

• Easy-to-understand information on reading food labels, on protein additives, and much more!


THE PROTEIN COUNTER is as essential to your gym bag as a water bottle!

5.0 out of 5 stars Protein Counter, January 3, 2007
By mamacope (Tennessee) - See all my reviews
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Protein Counter, January 9, 2007
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.

3.0 out of 5 stars You won't believe what they include!, February 27, 2009
This book is certainly complete, although I think they could include values for smaller portions to make it easier to calculate some things. It does the job though. However, I got even more then I expected from this book because now I know that squirrel has less calories then Opossum or Muskrat. No, I am not kidding! Frog legs? Yep, they're included! I also learned that apparently you can eat ferns, because they're in there too. Who knows what I might find next!?!
