 Good But Missing a Few Things August 21, 2003
Gwenn Samuel (Harper Woods, MI United States)
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
What's there is great! What is missing is too important. This guide has a vast variety of foods listed, and covers some bases other books do not. What is missing is too important - there are no listings for Cholesterol or Good and Bad Fats. It is too important to the diabetic dieter or to any dieter to know these things! I found the book informative - and generally useless beyond basic information found in other books.
 A great buy! April 18, 2003

I have had this book for about a week and it has been the most useful out of MANY calorie counter books I have. It does not list Protein for many foods other than restaurant foods, but is awesome for everything else. I have found 90% of the items I wanted quickly and easily. The restaurant section contains mini-lists of their food offerings, but at least shows some good reference points. I highly recommend this for anyone that is having trouble finding a calorie counting book they like!

I would give a review for this item if I could. But the person gave me a refund for the book so I can't review it. Sorry.
12 Calories for a Teaspoon of Nutmeg! December 5, 2002

What a gem "The Doctors Pocket Calorie, Fat & Carbohydrate Counter" is!
This purse-sized book puts honesty into eating.
Essentially, it is a group of lists. You'll see the product name, and in three columns to the right of it, how many calories, fat and carbohydrates. The strength resides in its thoroughness. It seem as if the editors came in my neighborhood grocery store and took notes, cataloguing these stats from every item. There is even a calorie count for spices (a teaspoon of nutmeg has 12 calories!), as well as alcohol (you'll find your favorites brands, plus a general list).
There is a section on restaurants in general. Presuming, for example, red beans and rice is pretty much the same anywhere, we learn we'll be eating about 280 calories.
Disheartening is the restaurant chain section, from Applebee's to Zantiago. I was pleased to see how Boston Market did, but I see the stuffing and gravy on their turkey meal I love costs me an additional 430 calories.
There are some nutritional sections, explaining the fundamentals of a good diet, what fiber is all about and some discussion of sodium.
It is all very handy, and so I fully recommend "The Doctors Pocket Calorie, Fat & Carbohydrate Counter."

The best! December 2, 2002

I have bought more than half a dozen calorie, fat & carbohydrate count books. This one is the best. Small in size, and will fit in pants pocket, jacket, or purse. Extensive listings of foods. Before I bought this book, I thought it mostly covered fast food chains. Not so. It also includes info on the ingredients basic to many home recipes. I've found the info I needed about table sugar, flour, oils, etc., which allows me to convert many of my old favorite recipes into low fat, low carbohydrate dishes. Also included are concise references to valuable diabetes, weight loss, exercise, and cholesterol information.
