Product Description

Product Description

Carbs & Cals & Protein & Fat is a visual guide to carbohydrate, protein, fat and calorie counting. It contains over 1,400 photographs of popular food and drink items, clearly showing the amount of carbohydrate, calories, protein and fat in each photo. For the first time, monitoring what you eat and drink has been turned into an easy-to-understand, practical, visual guide.

The 17-page introduction to the book contains information about healthy eating, losing weight, calories, carbohydrates, protein, fat and how to use the book.

The 264 pages of photographs are arranged into 17 colour-coded sections: Biscuits & Crackers, Bread, Breakfast, Cakes & Bakery Items, Desserts, Drinks, Eggs & Cheese, Fruit, Meals, Meal Accompaniments, Meat, Chicken & Fish, Potatoes, Rice, Pasta & Grains, Sauces & Spreads, Snacks & Confectionery, Take-away Food, and Vegetables & Pulses.

There are up to 6 different portion photos for each food (with their corresponding carb, calorie, protein and fat value displayed above each image). This provides an easy comparison to the food on your plate and a helpful guide to the nutrients you are consuming. The prepared/cooked weight is also shown below each photo.

Calorie counting is an important part of healthy eating and weight control. This book will provide an invaluable tool for anyone engaged in this process, as Carbs & Cals & Protein & Fat vastly simplifies the calorie counting process. It takes out the guesswork and time spent weighing food by showing you the calorie content in each food photograph. This allows you to make choices on how to reduce calories by choosing a smaller portion or swapping a high calorie snack for a healthier option.

PLEASE NOTE: It is recommended to use the Pocket Counter (ISBN 9781908261007) alongside the Carbs & Cals & Protein & Fat book (ISBN 9780956443076).  The Carbs & Cals & Protein & Fat book is great for use at home, as it contains up to 6 portions of each food and allows easy comparison to the food on your plate.  The Pocket Counter contains the same foods as the Carbs & Cals & Protein & Fat book, but with only 1 or 2 portions of each food.  It is ⅓ of the size & weight, so great to keep in your bag for using when out & about (especially in restaurants).

Excellent! 18 Mar 2011
By LD
Format:Paperback
Being a) diabetic and b) trying to lose weight, I found this visual guide to be amazingly useful, after all they say one picture says a 1000 words and this illustrates that wonderfully! Eveyone I've shown it to agrees that is is an extremely useful diet tool. For example, say, you have had a meal out you can more easily gauge the damage done by comparing the portion you had with that in the book.. Highly recommended.

I'd previously purchased the Carbs and Cals only edition but with the added fat and protein values this resource is proving invaluabe during all my consultations. For me, where it scores is being able to highlight the effect of fat and carb portion sizes on both blood glucose and weight control - short and long term.

There is a huge range of foods, snacks, drinks and meals covering all tastes and cultures. I've yet to not find something I needed.

A fantastic resource for both health care professionals and the individuals we see in supporting weight loss and glycaemic control.

Rarely a day goes by without me using it :-)

Brilliant book 29 April 2011
Format:Paperback
I work in a GP surgery and one of my colleagues attended a course run by dieticians about helping diabetics with weight loss. This book was recommended as was its companion for diabetics. I bought it as since being over 40 I can no longer seem to lose the last half or 3/4 stone to get down to my ideal weight. The book is excellent - it shows the portion size of meals and how so many extra calories are consumed due to portions being too large. I have lost nearly 3Kg so far and have only been using the book for 3 weeks. I have since bought the Iphone app which means I can add the calories and carbs easily. Would highly recommend it.
