 difficult to locate food items October 30, 2008
This book is difficult to search for the foods items and it seems to list only the foods that a person should be eating on a healthy diet. So if you use a food journal and you cheat or indulge a food craving, it's complicate to track the carbs, fats, proteins, etc, using this book. My doctor advised that recording what you eat helps with weight loss and it does seem to help, but I'm going to search for another calorie counter book to aid me.

I really did not care for the book because it does not have a lot of the fast food places in there like for instance. no cracker barrel,no applebees,but it had a lot of resturants that I have never heard of.
So as far as the fast food places I don't even use it for that .
And as far as the calorie counter for other foods its just ok. Its says something different than the net does about how many calories are in certain foods so now I don't which one is correct??
Would I buy it again ?? NO
 calorie counter August 25, 2008
The Biggest Loser Calorie Counter book has been very helpful to me. I'm not always dieting but do like to know how many calories I am taking in. This book has every calorie for all kinds of foods plus lots more.

The first 27 pages of this book consist of "tips" for losing weight. This includes things such as:
-the Biggest Loser diet in a nutshell
-how to keep a food journal
-how to read labels
-a section where the Biggest Losers from the show share their favorite foods in various categories such as "their top 20 low cal foods", "their top 20 evening snacks", or "their top 20 low cal desserts."
Then comes the part you likely got the book for: the calorie counter. HOWEVER, this is not simply a book that gives you ONLY the amount of calories in a food item, no, The Biggest Loser Calorie Counter: The Quick and Easy Guide to Thousands of Foods from Grocery Stores and Popular Restaurants--As Seen on NBC's Hit Show! also gives you the amount of protein, carbs, fiber, sugar, fat, saturated fat, and sodium (which is really good for those with heart or blood pressure issues) in a food item. Know too that in this particular calorie counter, food items are arranged in alphabetical order by "groups" such as "beverages" "desserts" or "pasta".
The book ends with a "dining out" section, which is where you can find info on foods in your favorite restaurants- well, maybe not ALL your favorite restaurants, but a lot of them. Also need to mention that the book can fit in an average-sized purse so you can take it along when eating out (if you're a guy, you'll just have to tote it around).
A very well-organized and handy book that should help many dieters on their quest for a healthier body, I give it 5 stars easy. Overweight people suffering from plantar fasciitis might also be interested in The 5-Minute Plantar Fasciitis Solution.

It it hard to find foods in. I would rather have one that is alphabetized rather than catagorized
