Fast Food/Restaurant Chain Information Useless.......2003-08-10
The data in the fast food/restaurant chain section is frequently erroneous. For example, if you look under Shoney's to see how much fat one of their fried eggs has, this book tells you that such an egg has 274 grams of saturated fat. At 9 calories per gram, each Shoney's egg would thus have an impossible 2466 calories. This section repeats this kind of strange error frequently, making it uesless as a guide to minimizing fat when eating out.
Lots of frustrating entries.......2002-01-22
I bought this book to find out how many grams of saturated fat was in the food I was eating. However, although this is included as a column, many of the entries gave the abbreviation "mq." According to authors this means that the food "may contain a measurable quantity." After looking at another Nutribase guide for more clarification, I found that this abbreviation is used to indicate that the food can have fluctuations in whatever it is that was being measured, and this can vary from nonsignificant amounts to substantial amounts.
This, however, does no good for me. Might as well not give me any information. I'd rather have a food counter that takes a stab at it and gives me an average rather than no information at all. I returned the book and got something else.
If you're not buying a fat counter to keep track of saturated fat, then I suppose this counter will work quite well. Since saturated fat is the main dietary source of elevated cholesterol, however, I can't imagine why someone would think it's OK to do without any saturated fat readings.

Never received this book!.......2006-07-03
Ordered this on the first of June '06, Amazon sent it twice to my old address even though I entered my new address when I placed my order. So....I wouldn't have the slightest idea how to review this book. Amazon's site makes it so difficult to report the problem, but so easy to go in circles on their site....I gave up and tried to get my message across to them in THIS venue.
nutri-officianado (self-appointed).......2004-09-04
I am the mother of a ten year old diabetic and therefore a bit of a health nut or pro-nutri counter. I can scan a nutrition label in two seconds flat and tell you exactly if it's what it claims to be on the front of the package. Well, as you can imagine, apples don't come with labels and neither do many other things one is presented with to eat. This book is with me always, it gives every possible senario on food that we take in. I am personally into weight training so I need the protein listings which cover every possible food, I have never seen so many kinds of peanut butter in my life! Who knew. I just wish I would have gotten the desk facts book, it also covers fiber intake, which would be useful. It sounds like that book could have a few misprints according to other reviews I read on it, but hey, when one is printing that many tiny numbers, a misprint is no shocker, eg. 130 grams of fat vs. 13? Pretty obvious that a restaurant chicken breast isn't going to have 130 grams of fat. So with that being considered, I'd get the desk reference Nutribase offers, coveres all the catagories. Good luck!

Pretty much what you would expect.......2000-07-25
Overall, this book is pretty much what you would expect, a catalog of foods and their fat/fiber content. Specifically, for each food is listed serving size, total calories, grams of fiber, grams of fat, and percent of calories from fat. My biggest criticism would be that this book does not break fiber down to soluble and insoluble fiber, nor is fat broken down to saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated.
The book is 12 pages of intro (basic intro material about what is fat/fiber and the importance of paying attention to it), followed by 660 pages of alphabetized food items. The remaining 77 pages lists fast-foods catagorized by restaurant.
The 660 page catalog is the bulk of the book, and seems to be reasonably complete. It lists both generic and brand name items. As an example, I looked up "eggs, chicken" and found the following items. Cooked: fried, hard-boiled, hard-boiled & chopped, poached, scrambled. Dried: unsifted, sifted, stabilized & glucose reduced, stabilized & glucose reduced & sifted. Pickled. Raw: fresh or frozen. Egg whites and egg yolks are listed separately, as are duck eggs, goose eggs, quail eggs, egg alternatives (Egg-Beaters, Scramblers, Egg-Watchers), and freeze dried and frozen prepared egg breakfasts.
The Last 77 pages were not so complete, but did include some regional and smaller restaurants. Included were all the big national chains, of course, but also Carl's Jr., Swenson's, Del Taco, and Rally's. However, Bob Evans, and Krispy Kreme are missing. By the way, is it true that nothing at Wendy's has any fiber to speak of? Even the chili! Doesn't their chili have any beans!
One final note. Some (a few on each page) of the measurements are given as "crude fiber" rather than "dietary fiber". Crude fiber is from an older and less accurate measuring method. It will always be less than or equal to dietary fiber (which is the measurement you're normally looking for). When only the crude measurement is available, it is marked as such.

Highly useful.......2001-08-05
Providing fat and cholesterol values for thousands of foods (brand-name, generic and natural), this book is remarkably complete in its listings. For readers who need to know such things, it will immediately become a constant companion. At the price, it's a great value.
