What a disappointment!,
This review is from: The Ultimate Calorie Counter (Mass Market Paperback)
This book is a BIG disappointment and not at all user friendly. The first 90 pages are the author's observations and opinions on weight loss. The calorie count portion is difficult, if not impossible to use.....instead of being individually alphabetically listed, items are classified and then alphabetized and the classification is not noted at the top of the page. "Ultimate"....I don't think so.

A big let down in the calorie counting department,
By abunai sakana "fish" (Ada, Michigan USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Ultimate Calorie Counter (Mass Market Paperback)
I am very disappointed with this book. I wanted a book to help me keep track of my daily intake of calories. Not pages and pages full of the author's opinions and tips on weight loss. A lot of the items listed are commercial food that by law have to carry nutrition info anyway. I am prefectly capable of reading a nutrition lable for calories, I don't need the added step of finding it in this book, which doesn't have a very good order of listing items in my opinion. Instead I recommend "The Doctors Pocket Calorie, Fat & Carbohydrate Counter: 2002 Edition, Plus 101 Fast Food Chains and Restaurants" and "The Complete and Up-to-Date Fat Book: A Guide to the Fat, Calories and Fat Percentages in Your Food" - both of which are available from amazon.

Not the Ultimate for sure,
By L. Schell - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Ultimate Calorie Counter (Mass Market Paperback)
This is just another ole calorie book with the first half devoted to talk about diets exercise and general nutrition. The second half is food items (90%) that I can find the calorie count on the package it came in. It does not have foods I was looking for. . .like, WHOLE GRAINS, 1 oz millet, or buckwheat did not have fresh ground almond butter. . . those are the kinds of things I would say is ULTIMATE as those items are hard to find a calorie amount on. . . .this book spent too much time in the front half on general info and NOT calorie counter and then the section with the counter, it was very hard to follow. . . .
