Book Reviews of The Biggest Loser Calorie Counter: The Quick and Easy Guide to Thousands of Foods from Grocery Stores and Popular Restaurants--AsSeen on NBC's Hit Show!
Book Review: Eating to live healthy
Summary: 4 Stars
I found this a useful resource the first week or two I had it but do not use it as much now that I am getting used to healthy portions. I decided to buy this even though I was already using the internet at the end of the day to look up calorie info because I found it more beneficial to keep track of calories as the day progressed to prevent eating too many calories, at the end of the day it's already too late. I kept this in my purse and now usually leave it at home, but this is still a great resource. I still look things up sometimes but the first two or three weeks I looked at it everytime I ate. My only complaint is that even though this is a VERY thorough guide there are some very specific things like specific ways of preparing an omelete or different type of pizza that are not listed. There's more than a page of eggs listed but only one omelete and only four types of pizza. This is the only calorie guide in book form that I would recomend but I guess it's not possible to list every possible combination of foods.
Live well, live healthy, live happy.
Book Review: Good, but not perfect.
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a fairly comprehensive calorie guide, especially for basic foods that would make up your diet (like fruits and veggies and lean proteins, etc.)
I found the fast-food restaurant guides to be somewhat random and incomplete. Most popular places were included, but often only a small selection of their menu was given. Plus some of the large national chains weren't in there (maybe they couldn't get permission?).
The guide can also be somewhat difficult to navigate, the order didn't seem to make much sense, although I suppose you could just tag the pages for items you frequently eat.
All-in-all I'd recommend this as a good pocket guide to carry with you when you go out, because it is small and light and does contain a lot of information, even if it's not perfect.
Book Review: THIS IS FABULOUS
Summary: 5 Stars
I absolutely love this calorie counter. It gives you the calories in everyday foods you get at the grocery store, plus, it gives you calorie counts for fast food restaurants. It gives you the calories for things you should eat at these restaurants and a few examples of things you should definitely stay away from. They're obvious because they're so many more calories than the others listed. I carry it in my purse so that I have it whenever.Book Review: Terrible.

Price was good but it took 3 weeks for me to receive it. I was not satisfied.Book Review: The Only Calorie Counter You'll Need
Summary: 5 Stars
This book puts all the info you'll ever need in a small package that you can actually carry around and simple enough that you will actually use it. Throw away all the big bulky counters collecting dust on your bookshelf and buy this one. And lose weight intelligently with its guidance. The info is there, all you have to do is apply it. There is a reason The Biggest Loser is so successful - and Cheryl Forberg's nutritional guidance to the contestants is a HUGE part of it.
