 - The loser is the one who buys this book!Several things make this "guide" unsatisfactory. First, they use such a small type that it is impossible for anyone over 40 to read it without glasses. Next there are the "creative categories"...I kind of expect milk products to be under "dairy"...not under "beverages". Then there is the inconsistency of their measurements of a serving size. For cottage cheese, the chart ranges from 4 oz to 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup...now we get to "do the math". Their "Dining Out" consists of all the Fast Food restaurants on the planet...with only PF Chang as a restaurant that I might find helpful. Do yourself a favor...buy a different book. Rating: - Buy The Calorie King instead!This product does not even begin to compare to the Calorie King guide. I purchased the Calorie King calorie guide a few months ago on Amazon. My husband decided to start counting calories and asked me to order him a calorie guide. I was excited when I found The Biggest Loser Calorie guide. We are big fans of The Biggest Loser television show. We were both very dissapointed. First of all, it is very plain(black & white). It had very limited info on restaurant foods. Only healthy items like chicken or fish were listed. When I go on a diet I like to have more of a selection than chicken or fish. Calorie King is a much better guide for about the same price. The resturant section has most of the major chains & their menu items on it. The book is colorful and has helpful information on dieting. I am ordering another Calorie King for my husband. Don't waste your money on this! Rating:  - Review of the Biggest Loser Calorie Counter BookThis book has hundreds of food items with their listed calories, protein, carbs, fiber, sugar, fat, sat fat, and sodium according to the serving size. An excellent help for those seriously trying to eat the right portions of food!! Rating: - DisappointedI purchased the book based on the title: "....Thousands of Foods from Grocery Stores and Popular Restaurants..." This particular portion of the book was in the back and quite small. Very misleadning and disappointing.
