misleading
This book is misleading. it is mostly about restaurant food. The section that has food listed.. pears..banana's..pea's etc does not list the serving size. For instance..1 cup..or 1/4 cup or one ounce. I wasted my money.

Fast food counter
This book is not very useful for eating at home. The units for the counts are not uniform. Some cheeses are listed in ounces, and others in cups cubed. This makes measuring difficult. I suggest the next revision stick to ounces for everything. Kitchen scales are now affordable and accurate. It would take out a lot of guess work.

Blog Review
Registered Dietitian Rosanne Rust was nice enough to send us a copy of her new book, "The Calorie Counter for Dummies". I would highly recommend this book and I've already referenced it multiple times. This compact guide is small enough to carry around in your bag or leave in your car and is a great tool for those who frequent restaurants and fast food places or those who are constantly on the go. This guide provides the nutritional data for nearly 140 popular restaurants/fast food places! The book also begins with an introduction to dietary guidelines for certain nutritional disorders such as heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes or general weight loss. Rosanne also lists the best menu options for each of these conditions.


This is a great book for anyone who is looking to keep track of their dietary intake and those who want to have a healthy balance when eating out!

Book Cover Misleading
The book cover is misleading. Most of the book is dedicated to eating out at fast food restaurants. The cover should state it's a restaurant guide. I was looking for calories of individual foods. Since I don't eat at fast food places, this book will go into my yard sale box.
Amazon verified purchase.

A Geat Resouce Guide!
A Great resource for all who like to eat! Part 1, called "Healthy Eating 101" offers the reader some great tips for eating well. Whether your goal is weight loss, control of diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or you simply want to plan better meals for you and your family, this section covers all of the basics and then some! Part 2 provides eye opening nutritional information for over 140 restaurants. This is not meant to stop you from eating at those restaurants, but to help you make better choices from their menus . Part 3 gives the reader a listing of many common foods including their nutritional values...again to help make you a better eater! As a Registered Dietitian, I will recommend this guide to my clients as another tool to help them achieve their nutrition and health goals. A great quick reference for the car, purse, or desktop! You certainly won't want to 'shelf' this book.

Find Out About The Dangers Associated With Dieting

qweDieting should have sensible basis otherwise it may do nothing but undermine and ruin your health. There are some dangers associated with dieting. Danger 1 - on my own The habit always to rely upon oneself is not the appropriate tactics in dieting. Fattiness like any other diseases should be treated under the strict doctor’s control. Every one is unique and needs certain and specific approach. Someone may be stout but have a good health someone may have few “extra kilos” which will intermix with serious diseases. So you should be completely aware of your current state. Work, life style, surroundings, living conditions and even climate should be taken in account when choosing a diet. Danger 2 - on the buckwheat There are several dieting myths: you should eat meat, you should eat once or twice a day, it’s useful to eat only buckwheat or apple pines for example. Each product is wholesome for sure but only in the combination with other useful products. And if you decided to keep to a “one-side” diet you merely deprive yourself of necessary and vital elements. The greatest problems may cause incredible protein decrease, especially animal protein which can not be substituted by soy or legumes protein. Animal protein is the base for ferments and hormones production. In case you reduce protein consumption the reproductive function gets worse and the blood formula changes. Another danger is the lack of calcium which we usually get of the diary products. This element is absolutely necessary especially for the young organism which bones are still in the process of formation. The variety of food is the main point of the right diet. Remember you may eat everything but with the sense of measure. Fish, vegetables and fruits are irreplaceable products and should “find place” in your diet however. Danger 3 – only diet If you really want to loose weight and not to regain it you’d better thing about dieting and physical loading as separate things but work out the plan of healthy life style. It may include the food we eat, the way we spend our free time, sleep and whatever. The main tendency today is square meals and minimum of physical exercise. The quantity of energy we receive should not exceed the quantity we consume. The simplest recommendations are to eat divisionally – every 3 or 4 hours in little quantities, not to eat before going to bed. Danger 4- food is my best friend The other stumbling block is to compensate stress depression by eating sweets and chocolates. Some times in such situations a person may eat even when he is not hungry. Remember everything is in your own hands.
