Product reviewsCarbs & Cals Carb & Calorie Counter: Count Your Carbs & Calories with Over 1,700 Food & Drink Photos! by Chris Cheyette, Yello Balolia (Paperback, 2016)

A quick guide to food and drink

Bought this item the same time as my husband who is a type 1 Diabetic needed it to track his carbohydrates. Can take a little time to get into it but once you have played around with it for half an hour it is a really quick way to track what you are eating when you are on a diet. The meal plans show you just how much you are really eating per day if you are honest with it. It therefore shows you where to cut out the problem foods or downsize portions. I have kept my weight off all through a 3 week all you can eat cruise. I didn't put a pound on. I am more confident about approaching Christmas/ meals out etc because I can identify the risk areas. Brilliant!.Read full review...

A very comprehensive study of dietary information.

This book is a remarkable achievement in terms of research and presentation. I have created a series of seven Excel Spreadsheets, in order to compile a week's worth of meals while giving me multiple daily choices, This allows me to pick and choose, thereby having a variety of meals available to me in differing weeks rather than the same meals every day of each week. At the same time I am able to keep track of the daily intake of Carbs and Calories I have consumed. I have set the spreadsheet out so that I can delete the carbs and calories of uneaten meals on a particular day, leaving only those that I do eat; The spreadsheets calculate the total daily intake, but leave the complete selection of items per day so that they can be copied. Copying the master spread sheet allows me to use the same meals selections across multiple weeks. Complicated, but not so difficult as collating meals selections for morning, lunch and evening everyday by flipping through the book causing extensive wear and tear to it. Brilliant book.Read full review...

Great book

We were first given this book 3 years ago when our son was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. It is without doubt absolutely brilliant and has made carb counting for our son so much easier and we would not be without it.
Had to buy another one purely because the first one needed replacing due to constant use, (worn out, spillages, etc). It's good to see the fast food/take away food added as well, although we don't have often it's still useful for when we do. Would highly recommend for ease of use.Read full review...

carbs & Calories

I think this is the best book I have ever read about food and calories. It shows different portion sizes, giving accurate calories of a variety of foods. It certainly has helped me make the change and make wise choices. I highly recommend it, not only to people with weight issues, but those who are slim and want to live a healthier lifestyle.Read full review...

Good visual diet-healthy eating book for calorie-carb values.

Good quality pictures show calorie, fat , saturated fat, carbs, protein and fibre values. Book would be better if sugar and salt values were added in but saying that a good visual guide for getting healthy.Read full review...
