I found this book very helpful. Small enough to take anywhere. Nice fast food section.

Outstanding reference for eating out!

The Calorie King "Calorie, Fat & Carbohydrate Counter" book is an outstanding nutrition reference for those who eat out a lot. It contains nutrition information for the main entrees and side dishes for over 200 fast food and chain restaurants. For restaurants that are not part of a chain, there is also a section that provides nutrition info for popular entrees for various cuisines. Local restaurants will differ in terms of portion size served and to some degree in the ingredients they use for a particular dish, but the generic section does at least give you a base to work off of.

Aside from the restaurant section -- which constitutes about a third of the book -- the bulk of the book contains nutrition info for every food imaginable to include info for many brand name pre-packaged foods. Also, the book has a small section at the beginning with general dieting and nutrition information which puts all the raw info presented in the rest of the book in the proper context.

About the only complaint I have is that the book didn't include protein data for the foods covered. (That said, one can easily make a reasonable estimate of protein grams in a given food by subtracting the fat calories and carb calories out of the total calorie info given.)

If you are someone who is trying to lose weight and actively tracks the calorie and nutrition information for the foods you eat, this book is an indispensable reference!
