The Carbs & Cals & Protein & Fat Pocket Counter is a visual guide to carbohydrate, protein, fat and calorie counting for weight loss, healthy eating and diabetes management. It contains over 1,400 photos of popular food and drink items, with the carbohydrate, calorie, protein and fat values clearly displayed above each photo.

The 210 pages of photographs are arranged into 17 colour-coded sections: Biscuits & Crackers, Bread, Breakfast, Cakes & Bakery Items, Desserts, Drinks, Eggs & Cheese, Fruit, Meals, Meal Accompaniments, Meat, Chicken & Fish, Potatoes, Rice, Pasta & Grains, Sauces & Spreads, Snacks & Confectionery, Take-away Food, and Vegetables & Pulses. There are up to 2 different portion photos for each food, with their corresponding carbohydrate, calorie, protein and fat values displayed above each photo. This provides users with an easy comparison to the food on their plate and a helpful guide to the carbohydrate, calories, protein and fat they are consuming. The prepared/cooked weight is also shown below each photo.

Calorie counting and monitoring of fat intake are an important part of weight management and healthy eating, and this book is an invaluable support tool for anyone engaged in this process. It takes out the guesswork and time spent weighing food by showing the calorie and nutrient content in each food photo. This allows the user to make choices on how to reduce calories and fat intake by choosing a smaller portion or swapping a food item that is in calories for a healthier option.

PLEASE NOTE: The Carbs & Cals & Protein & Fat Pocket Counter (ISBN 9781908261007) is a great portable accompaniment to the Carbs & Cals & Protein & Fat book. With all the same food and drink items, but in just 1 or 2 portion sizes, it’s an extremely handy resource for when out and about.

Review:

"So convenient to carry in my bag and very easy to identify the food I am about to eat and how many carbs it has." "Great publication, which is really going to help me lose some weight." "Having had use of the full size book at home, I really needed a pocket size book to take on holiday and this certainly lived up to expectations." "I would recommend this valuable little booklet to anyone who needs to count carbs, cals and fat content of foods." "This book is a must for anyone who is diabetic, or if you are just watching your weight. Fantastic for counting calories and carbs." "We bought this as my 11yr old is diabetic. We already have the larger version of this book but this size has enabled it to travel in my daughter's "Frog Bag" (Diabetes bag) and has really helped her to engage in carb counting." "Well worth it. I have been on a DAFNE Course and these books supplement the help already received." "Almost as good as its big brother but easier to carry about." "This is a handy wee book for my son's diabetes bag. Useful for carb counting when out and about." "Very good book for diabetics who are on insulin and having difficulties in carbs counting in relation to the correct dose of insulin." --Amazon reviews
