Book Review: Calorie, Fat & Carbohydrate Counter by the Calorie King

Perfect timing for any health or weight related New Year Resolutions! This a great little pocket guide that will fit in your purse and help you understand just how many calories, etc., you’re consuming in the course of the day. There’s a Diabetes Diet Guide done in association with the Joslin Diabetes Center.

Other sections with information on dieting include: BMI Chart, Portion Size Counts, Fats & Carbohydrates, Tips for Overweight Kids, Sample Meal Plan, Exercise Guide, Eating Behavior, Calcium & Osteoporosis, Caffeine Counter, Alcohol Guide & Counter, Fats & Cholesterol Guide, Fiber Guide & Counter, Protein & Iron Counter, and, Salt & High Blood Pressure with Sodium Counter.

You can plan your meals using this guide or check on just how many calories, fat, and carbohydrates you’ve eaten during the day.

It even has a counter for 200 fast-food chains and restaurants and includes brand name desserts for grocery stores. If you haven’t been reading labels on the food you buy, this will be an eye opening experience for you. How can one little slice have that many calories???

You can buy software to make your job of counting calories, etc., easier and faster. There’s an online support group.

If you need to stick to a certain diet for health reasons, this is an important guide to food types and what prepared meals contain.

Even if you have no need to diet, but want to eat food that is good for you and will give you the most energy and help you stay healthy, this guide will work.

Help yourself stay healthy by watching what you eat and drink!

We swear by this book. Our child has type 1 diabetes, and we use it almost every day for her carb counts. It's small enough to fit in her kit or in my purse. This book is a must-have.
