The Bible of nutritional information per food item,
By A Customer
This review is from: Fat, Fibre and Carbohydrate Counter (Health Education Authority) (Paperback)
This book is absolutely wonderful if you are dieting and counting fat, carbohydrate or fibre. I have been using this in conjunction with Dr Atkins and have lost 8lbs in two weeks. It contains listings of most food items apart from pre-packaged foods.

An essential counter for whatever diet you are following.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Fat, Fibre and Carbohydrate Counter (Health Education Authority) (Paperback)
I was recommended this little guide by the couple who also recommended the Dr. Atkins diet to me. Both recommendations have brought about a complete change in eating and consequently a change in attitude to life itself! I lost 2 stone in 6 months without cravings or sneaking off to the chocolate counter. Three months later I have not put a pound on and have no intention of doing so. This wouldn't have been possible without this little carb. counter as Dr. Atkins is none too specific about actual carb. details in his book. Small enough to fit into a handbag but still has most food types listed. I agree with another reviewer that it is most useful if you cook from basic ingredients but shouldn't we all be aiming to do this anyway? It can be just as fast to cook from fresh ingredients but without the unwanted extras that can sometimes be added to the pre-packed foods!

Particularly useful for nutrition-conscious cooks,
By
This review is from: Fat, Fibre and Carbohydrate Counter (Health Education Authority) (Paperback)
This book consists mainly of an alphabetic table analysing the nutritional values of foods. It has a few introductory pages explaining the components of a healthy diet, sources of vitamins, and so on.Of course it is impossible for any book of this type to be entirely comprehensive, and several times I have found that the food I am seeking for is not listed or is listed under its US English name (eg zucchini instead of courgette). However, it is generally pretty thorough. It is also relatively easy to use, although some of the arrangements are not immediately obvious (eg putting fish, prawns etc all together under `seafood'). If you eat mainly purchased food you will probably not need this book, as most manufacturers now put nutritional values on their foods. But for a cook it is very helpful. As long as you really want to know how many calories there are in a slice of your delicious home made banana cake!
