Product Description

Synopsis

It's simply not useful to present information under brands and that's what the other books do. How do you compare the same foods under different brands? Very, very slowly, if at all!Do we really care about one tea biscuit having two more calories than another? We don't think so. People want the CALORIE values for what they are considering for purchase and then they want them for the portion they want to eat. That's what we do here.This information resource is hugely better in application. We're not making it up. In the UK, if your customers want a calorie counter, then this is the only one to sell them in good conscience.

4.0 out of 5 stars A comprehensible easy to use guide, 30 Jun 2008
By M. Hindley "ologybee" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
No brand names but you can look up Big Mac, Kentucky fried chicken etc.
Portions are realistic eg:
Columns: Food, kC/portion, Portion size, Carbs (g), fat (g),fibre.
Garlic, 5 , 1 clove , 1 , trace, low
Jaffa Cake, 48 , 1 individual cake,9 , 1 , low
Carrot , 35 , 1 large ,8 , trace , medium
but what is large? It does give some equivalent weights or sizes at the beginning but not what size a large carrot is referring to. Most portions are good but as in the carrot problem, not exact.
A good little book to stick in your bag.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant , 9 Feb 2009
By W. D. Gaynor "Cave Troll" (London, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a great book if you're serious about counting those calories. Its lists foods by food type rather than brand names and gives measures of food by portions rather than grams eg 1 teaspoon, 1 sausage, 1 cupful, 1 good handful....

The thing I like the most is that it really is pocket sized and it's a quick and easy to reference calories. I would defiantly recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars So useful!, 13 Oct 2008
I LOVE this book. It's really small, so it fits into any of my handbags, and also, it tells you the calories in portion sizes as well. I bought a calorie book before this one, and it had everything in 100gram portions, which made it extremely difficult to work out how much you were eating. This book has nearly everything in, right down to 'gazpachio'. There is also space at the end of each letter of the alphabet to enter in your own foods and nutrition content if they aren't already in there. I would definitely recommend this! My only concern with it is that there are no page numbers, despite there being a contents page and page referances!
