Calorie counter, 2008-03-23
This book is a lot of help . It has the list of Restaraunts and fast food places to make a good decision on eating.

not what I had hoped, 2008-01-18
I had hoped this book had more specific calorie/carb/fat details rather than the generic food products. It had many purchased items, such as lean cuisine, health choice, etc., but little on non-ready food products. It did not serve my purpose.

DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK!, 2007-12-15
Yikes - this book is terrible. I can't find the listings for barely anything - the organization is bizarre, and most of the listings are for commercially available items (frozen dinners, packaged goods) that already have nutritional information on them. Thanks Ms. Buff, I didn't need THAT, I wanted to look up foods that DON'T come with labels. I wish I had read some of these reviews before buying this book. Sheila Buff - I want my money back.

Not the Ultimate for sure, 2007-02-16
This is just another ole calorie book with the first half devoted to talk about diets exercise and general nutrition. The second half is food items (90%) that I can find the calorie count on the package it came in. It does not have foods I was looking for. . .like, WHOLE GRAINS, 1 oz millet, or buckwheat did not have fresh ground almond butter. . . those are the kinds of things I would say is ULTIMATE as those items are hard to find a calorie amount on. . . .this book spent too much time in the front half on general info and NOT calorie counter and then the section with the counter, it was very hard to follow. . . .
