Product Description
From the Author
You can eat lean in every restaurant
If you eat out often (who doesn't?) and you like to eat healthy (shouldn't we all), Dining Lean is a must! There really is healthy foods at every restaurant as long as you know what to order and how to specify it to be prepared. Dining Lean lists updated calories, fat, sodium, and exchanges for all the restaurants that provide this information. In addition, using the "Calorimeters," you can figure out the calories of nearly every other food. It's easy! For example, cookies are 125 calories per oz. How many ounces in your cookie? Just set it on a postage scale or compare it to the actual picture sizes in the book. PS the mall cookies are 2+ oz apiece. WOW! Bagels are 80 calories an oz. Many gourmet bagels are more than 5 oz!! Want to hear about pizza?

This is an excellent no nonsense book for dining out

I would really have to rank this book above many others when it comes to watching the wasteline in restaurants. This book gives many different popular restaurants, and general ethnic guidlines that so many different books lack. She gives calories, fat, and carbohydrate information. All is clear an concise. In addition to some pretty helpful charts, she shows you what servings really look like in terms of size, and calorie counts of many of our all time favorites. Rather than trying to give you a bad one size fits all approach, she gives wonderful guidelines that you can take with you most any place you can go.

Disappointed but still worth the money.
10 April 2003
Format:Paperback
Duh, we all know that if we order our salads without dressing we'll save calories and fat grams so the 'how to order in restaurants section' was of little to no benefit for me. The points of real value to this book, in my opinion, were the guides that help you guesstimate food count information for various food items (for example, muffins are approximate 100 calories per ounce). The book does give valuable information to help gauge serving sizes of various foods and approximate food counts.
