Product Description

Product Description

Carbs & Cals & Protein & Fat Pocket Counter is a visual guide to carbohydrate, protein, fat and calorie counting. It contains over 600 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 that fits easily in your bag or pocket, making it perfect to carry with you everywhere.

The 310 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 2 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 this Pocket Counter (ISBN 9781908261007) alongside the Carbs & Cals & Protein & Fat weight-loss book (ISBN 9780956443076) or the Carbs & Cals diabetes book (ISBN 9780956443052).  These main books are great for use at home, as they contain up to 6 portions of each food and allow easy comparison to the food on your plate.  The Pocket Counter contains the same foods as the main books, 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).

Carbs & Cals 18 Oct 2011
Format:Paperback
This book was recommended by my diabetic nurse for easy reference regarding carbohydrate content of foods to help me as I am now on insulin for my diabetes. It is so convenient to carry in my bag and very easy to identify the food I am about to eat and how many carbs it has.

By JoJ
Format:Paperback
We bought this as my 11yr old is diabteic. We already have the larger version of this book but this size has enabled it to travel in my daughter's "Frog Bag" (Diabetes bag) and has really helped her to engage in carb counting. Not so many pictures of each item as in the larger book so a little more logic needs to be applied but it's great to have a descreet book to use when out in public. Having the fat content also helps to guage the likely uptake of the insulin.
