I bought one the other day to keep in my purse from Border's and I'm not liking it at all...it was the only one they had and it fit in my pocketbook but it's too hard to find things quickly.
I can use online sites, but when I'm not near a computer I want to be able to look things up, especially restaurants.
I use The Calorie King Fat and Carbohydrate Counter, it is easy to use and has loads of information and is small enuf to carry in your purse.It include restaurant anf fast food among other things.
I stick strictly with on line resources - I have to be very strict with myself as far as staying OP so I look everything up before I go out and plan what I'm going to be ordering. That way I'm not tempted to say "oh look, that brownie is only 400 calories. I can have that and skip breakfast tomorrow"
Bargoo - thats the one I use too! I also use the accompanying 10 week food/exercise journal. My doc's office sells them.
I've used many other kinds before. The Corrinne Netzer ones are good, but rely too much on brands and packaged foods, leaving the reader to have to guess which one is a good comparison. The Calorie King one has general avg all brands numbers for most common foods at the beginning of the section.
Which calorie counting book do you use?
