Question:
Is there a list out there that can tell you how much protein & vits are in food?

I'm trying out new foods im about 9 wks post op rny open and when I cook or buy some foods like crab meat "fresh" it doesn't show the amount of protein. Does any one have a list or suggestion? thanks Ann 46 lbs down.    — Ann F. (posted on February 16, 2000)

Ok Ann here you go!!!! This chart on beef..along with one for chicken & turkey, pork, and produce (eggs & Cheese) will be added to my webpage today.. It shows the protein content of all meats.. It has all the meat groups to search as well as produce. example it shows.. Turkey protein content with or without skin roasted, baked, fried etc.. This is a handy tool for all of us..

There are also "food count" books -- pocket size and full size, that give (in addition to calories & fat grams) the total nutritional breakdown of all foods, including fast foods. They are updated pretty frequently, so I've been pretty happy with mine.

There is a great book - available in paperback by DELL - THE COMPLETE BOOK OF FOOD COUNTS - by Corinne T. Netzer for $7.50. It counts everything, Protein, Carbs, fat, Chloresterol,sodium and fiber as well on calories on packaged foods, fresh foods even fast foods. I am sure it will help you. I know I have used it!
