 An all encompassing Nutrition Almanac December 10, 2001

This is definitely a reference guide, not a pocket size book and the price is incredible. I have always had a book like this in my kitchen since I started making baby food for my daughter many years ago. Mine is tattered and well worn but this book has taken its place. Not only does it cover everything in your kitchen by name brand, as well as generic words like brown rice without the name brand, it has the foods and nutritional value of popular restaurants. There is also a chapter at the end titled "Food facts from A to Z", that is more than helpful with explaining some common terms that are often misunderstood. The authors have also compiled a book titled NO NONSENSE NUTRITION FOR YOUR BABIES FIRST YEAR that might be helpful to moms. Kelsana 12/10/01
Calorie counter by Natow et al. June 13, 2004
Joseph S. Maresca (Bronxville, New York USA)

This is the perfect book for dieters and athletes looking to
cut calories from processed foods to all-natural fruits and
vegetables. A beauty of the work is that it covers the specific
food, exact portions and calories associated with each portion.
The author even provides a food diary to assist in planning
meals, as well as snacks. This presentation is easy to read
and understand. This work will make you conscious of the exact
calories consumed daily. With the information, you can plan an exercise program aimed at burning excess calories and
maximizing the body metabolism. The purchase is a good value
for every personal health library.

This book was easy to use and had calorie information on nearly everything I eat. You can find brand name food, fast food and regular food made from scratch.

This book is extremely detailed and is a must for anyone on a special diet. If you have a salt-restriction you'll be amazed to find how much is used in processed foods.
