Best book for Calorie counting

  • Can anyone recommend a real good calorie counting book, I would like to start watching my calories and I am looking for a book that includes fast food and restuarants.
    Thanks
  • What I do is just get online for the fast food restaurants most of them have a guild. I just printed all the ones that I eat and keep them in my car. It's always handy that way.
  • Hi Debbie! I love "Doctor's Pocket Calorie, Fat and Carbohydrate Counter (The Calorie King)".

    They also have a website. It has TONS of information! Check it out.

    And like Jt's post says, most fast food places have websites with nutritional info listed right on the website.

    Good luck!
  • I have a question, I went to website and I am tracking what I ate today, how do you find the calories when you cook a meal yourself and then break it down for 4 people, how do you keep the calories right when you add a little of this and a little of that

    Guess It is pretty easy AND it is better to over guess then under (imo).
