Book Review: 2008 CalorieKing Calorie, Fat & Carbohydrate Counter

 

I hate cooking in the summer months. I do not want to turn on the oven and make my whole house hot, so I find that I end up eating out a lot. I still want to eat well and be informed of calories, sugars, fats etc. in what I am eating, but I am a “woman on the go”, and sometimes fast food is my only quick and easy option.


This book is one of the best calorie counters because it is cheap ($7.99 on Amazon.com), easy to use, and fits in my bag, or glove compartment of my car. Perfect because then I have no excuse not to use it.

This tiny book includes most of the major food chains and restaurants. I actually couldn’t find one yet that it didn’t have. It also has food listed by type and I found it easy to always find what I was looking for. If you are looking for nutritional information for your general health, or for diabetes etc, I highly recommend it for anyone counting calories, fats or carbs. I can also imagine that this book is great for anyone following the Weight Watchers diet for when you are trying to figure out the “points” for what you are eating.
