"The Complete Book of Food Counts" by Corinne T. Netzer. It's a paperback I got at my local Waldenbooks. Even includes restaurants/major food chains.

Like the first poster stated The Complete Book. . . . .is a great book. It counts calories, carbs, protein, cholesterol, sodium, fat and fiber. There are two other good little pocket books that can be slipped into a purse or backpack, #1-The pocket Protein Counter by Annette B Natow & Jo-Ann Heslin, this lists fat, protein, calories and carbs. #2-The Doctor's Pocket Calorie, Fat & Carb Counter. Both of these last 2 books have ready to eat, fast and from scratch foods. I am not sure that there is such a book that lists the sugar content in foods. You may have to look at the food label on the food product for that info. Maybe I am mistaken and if I am then I stand corrected. I found these books at Walden Books.

I bought "The Most Complete Food Counter" at Barnes and Noble it is written by Annette Natow M.A., R.D. and Jo-ann Heslin M.A., R.D It is very complete and has a very good listing of restraunts and fast food chains listed. I paid $18.95 for it...well worth it.

Yes, I use 'The Complete Bood of Food Counts' also. It does NOT, however, count sugar. That is something you must rely on the label(s) for...at least if you're using this book. Good luck!

Lisa, Just about everyone that answered here so far has "hit it on the head". I have them all-just to be sure. Now as far as Dr. Atkin's book, it only counts proteins and carbs...the others books listed count *everything*, I suppose it's a good book as well because Dr. Atkins has a good program. I'd rather have all the information at my fingertips~that way you'll know right off how much and what you're eating. People look at me real strange, but I take my books everywhere I go in my purse.
