Extremely disappointing,
This bulky, 726-page paperback is written for people who eat almost entirely prepackaged, name brand foods, not for people who cook or prepare anything fresh or from scratch. It contains the nutritional content of thousands of packaged or fast food restaurant items, ironically information that is nearly always readily available on the package or in the restaurant and totally unnecessary in a separate publication. The nine-page index is very skimpy and idiosyncratically organized, i.e., no rationale for what is included or left out, and only a very small number of the items covered in the book are listed. Items are not presented in a straightforward alphabetical manner, and there is no clear organizing scheme for the entries; so, the lack of a thorough index is problematic and annoying. Attempting to find anything is very time-consuming and frustrating. A brief, simple list of the nutritional characteristics of basic food ingredients that one could easily carry in a purse or pocket would have been far more helpful (and at a fraction of the cost) to people who need this sort of dietary information.

|Very helpful guide!,
I disagree with the first reviewer. I do find this guide extremely helpful in meal planning, for food exchanges, etc. Just browsing through the Fast Food and Convenience Food sections provides me with the motivation I need to stay away from these and cook meals from scratch at home! It is a bit too bulky to carry around in your purse (would you take a dictionary with you everywhere?) but excellent for home use in meal planning, and to help in making decisions when and if you do eat out. I might buy one to keep at work too!

|diabetic guide,
The guide is helpful in keeping track of carbs etc contained in the foods that I eat. It makes it easier to plan a day’s menu and keep within the guidelines suggested by the nutritionist
