Review - My Calorie Counter by Maureen Namkoong


Synopsis: From Everyday Health, the #1 online health destination, comes this updated and revised pocket guide to nutrition and weight loss. Now more reader-friendly than ever before, the book is divided into three categories - regular foods, store brands, and restaurant/fast foods - each with thousands of entries. Every entry lists calorie count, fat content, and nutritional values, including carbohydrates, sodium, fiber, and protein. And all this is presented in an updated and easy-to-navigate format.
 
See where you are on the BMI (Body Mass Index) scale and how many calories you should take in to shed the pounds safely. Success stories from the Everyday Health community will motivate you to meet your goals. As a companion to Everyday Health's popular site, my-calorie-counter.com, the book links directly with this popular online community, where you can create your own free account, track your progress, find a weight-loss buddy, and much more!
 
 
My Thoughts:  I have been trying to cut back by doing portion control and this little book has helped me so so much. It is divided into several sections to provide you the information you need like calories for specific foods even a section for eating out and lists many favorite restaurants and gives detailed data on each item they serve. Matter of fact I have all but quit eating out at all after seeing the amount of calories in most of that food! 

If you're dieting or just trying to cut back or control your calorie intake then I highly recommend picking up a copy of this. I have given mine a good workout and only had it a month or so!

I purchased my copy from Book Outlet but am certain you can find it on Amazon or other places books are sold.
