The Food Counter's Pocket Companion, Sixth Edition: Calories, Carbohydrates, Protein, Fats, Fiber, Sugar, Sodium, Iron, Calcium, Potassium, and Vitamin D―with 32 Restaurant Chains Paperback – January 2, 2024

This is one of the books I would call a Great Book because it is so comprehensive and helpful. I am doing a keto diet, which is working really well, and this little book, easy to put into a pocket, is a fantastic guide. It has a good table of contents and a fine index (I think every book should have an index - so easy to do with today's software). The book lists tons of foods and food components, showing portions, calories, and in grams - fat, saturated fat, carbs, fiber, sugar, and protein. And in mg, sodium, vitamin D, calcium, iron, and potassium. The second section lists popular chain restaurants and their entrees, sides, and desserts. I am amazed by how much is packed into this guide. I look mostly at carbs and fiber (total carbs minus fiber gives net carbs, handy for a keto dieter.I've gone through the book with a highlighter to identify foods and restaurant items that have low enough net carbs. I can see at a glance what works. This book has been a key component to a 10 pound loss in 5 weeks. The only unfortunate part for me is the realization of how many foods at restaurants don't fit keto, and how many foods and components also have too many net carbs. Another downer is the portion size - such as 3 oz for many meats. The book has taught me to look at nutritional tables on food packages. I have now found some keto foods, such as bread, rolls, crunchy snacks, among other things. The keto foods are expensive, but limiting eating out because of few acceptable meals balances the more expensive foods.This book is worth every penny. In case it is not clear, I recommend this book highly. Happy informed eating.

This helpful guide is essential for keeping track of carbs and other nutritional value. It’s easy for travel, and fits into a car pocket when you need to go out for lunch!

This is the perfect calorie counters companion! It is the closest thing I could find to the old Weight Watchers point book I used to have.

I find this very helpful whenever I'm out with friends for dinner or whatever. I keep it in my bag so I can refer to it any time. It's great because you can make informed choices as to what to order in restaurants and eateries if you are on a special diet----Renal, Low Oxalate, Diabetic, Cardiac, Low Carb, High Protein, etc.

Not enough information. Mostly restaurant food info. I wanted more items.

This is a perfect size for traveling and eating out and extremely useful

As a newly diagnosed diabetic, this book is very helpful. It's well organized and i have been able to find what i need quickly.

Very helpful.
