USER REVIEWS
"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"

"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"

"Several things make this "guide" unsatisfactory.
First, they use such a small type that it is impossible for anyone over 40 to read it without glasses.
Next there are the "creative categories"...I kind of expect milk products to be under "dairy"...not under "beverages".
Then there is the inconsistency of their measurements of a serving size. For cottage cheese, the chart ranges from 4 oz to 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup...now we get to "do the math".
Their "Dining Out" consists of all the Fast Food restaurants on the planet...with only PF Chang as a restaurant that I might find helpful.
Do yourself a favor...buy a different book."
