The NutriBase Full E book of Meals Counts

Great Resource for Nutrition
I like everything about this book except it does not break out the sugar grams. They are included with the carbs but I still like them separated out.I don’t think there is anything I’ve gone to look up so far that has not been included. Portion sizes, amounts, etc are very helpful

Could Be Better, But It’s Still A Great Book
Comparing this food count book with those in stores — it’s helpful to see the format which is why I like Amazon where you can peek inside the books 🙂 — this book was the most comprehensive: a large number of foods reviewed in various forms and serving sizes. The categories (total calories, protein, carbs, sodium, fiber, fat and cholesterol) are what I needed to know. I didn’t see the breakdown of saturated fat one of the reviewers mentioned (I just looked again, I have the 2d edition with the blue cover) but I don’t need fat breakdown for my nutritional purposes. My only beef is with the formatting of the counts — I wish it followed the order of the nutrition labels with fat first after total calories, followed by cholesterol, sodium, total carbs, fiber, and protein last. I don’t need the breakdown of sugars for my purposes, so I’m okay with just listing total carbs and fiber, and leaving sugars out. Before I got used to using the book, I wanted to throw it across the room also. It helped me to mark in pencil the foods I frequently eat and later made up my own list which I keep a copy in the kitchen and a copy in the back of the book. The fast-food guide in the back section is very helpful. One day I was able to choose wisely at Jack in the Box and not blow my food counts for the day. I appreciate being able to count food pieces (50 blueberries) as I will count 25, halve all the food counts and add another piece of fruit for variety and nutrition. But I’m happy to use measuring cups, spoons and a scale at home. I found the book more comprehensive than Netzer’s and many of the others out there, including various carb counters. It’s not a book you can carry easily with you — it’s 704 pages! — but it’s a good reference book for home. I keep another smaller food count book in the car and approximate when I eat out, which outings I limit so I have more control over what I eat and my pocketbook.

Book is comprehensive but not sure totally accurate
Book arrived on time and is quite thick. Wish it showed sugar totals and sat. fat totals. Pretty comprehensive on some items. There is 11 pages on baby food and even exotic listiungs. Some errors however.. For example McDonalds lists beverages. There you think you would find listings for Coke, orange juice etc, and they are there but so is apple bran muffin and English muffin. It doesn’t list oatmeal for McDonalds. Also, checked some total for calories etc for both regular foods and fast food and found many differences from the products website and this book. Not sure all the information is accurate

The NutriBase Complete Book of Food Counts
This book is invaluable for any diabetic, dieter, or anyone who needs to especially keep track of fat, sugar, and/or protein intake. I would recommend it to everyone! It has counts for brand and generic name foods as well as raw ingredients.Some of the foods are off the beaten track, and being Oriental, I found many things I use regularly. I cannot praise it highly enough!

Edizione cartacea interessantissima ed utilissima, facile da esplorare, ( almeno per chi parla inglese)sarebbe bello ci fosse una edizione italiana e venisse pubblicizzata per il bene e la salute di tutti.
