USER REVIEWS
"I don't use this for its fast food section, so I don't know how the quality of that is. However, the bulk of the book is a comprehensive and very easy to use listing of nutritional information for a huge variety of foods. I keep this handy and frequently reference it."

"The book is full of valuable information. All items are alphabetically arranged, which is good. My only criticism is that it would help to have index tabs down the side of the book, opposite the spine. It's difficult to see where you are in the alphabet when you are browsing for a food type or brand label. "

"The Most Complete Food Counter is an excellent resource. Since I mostly cook from scratch, which is healthier, I cannot simply "look at labels" to find the nutritional information I need. Recently starting a low-carb diet, I find this book extremely helpful in weighing (no pun intended) my options before I shop, before I cook. This book gives me the knowledge I need to make informed, healthful decisions.
While I rarely eat at fast food and chain restaurants, the section in the back of the book will be a great resource for determining, prior to going out, what food options meet my specific dietary needs and how that meal will fit into my overall food planning that day.
I highly recommend this publication! "

"This is primarily a reflection of our society as about 80% of it is the calories and other info on prepackaged foods that are already labeled.
The organizantion is just alphabetical so it's difficult to find for example, 1/2 chicken breast, or cup of spaghetti.
