  This calorie counter is directed at those who want to lose weight, gain weight or simply watch it. Most calorie counters presume that people eat 3 meals a day. The reality is that many eat on the run. Fast living and fast food often mean that people snack and munch their way through calorie-packed, pre-packaged meals without thinking. This book aims to include danger foods so that the user can check out the facts first. Divided into simple food sections, over 4000 entries include take-away foods, ready-made meals, eating out and vegetarian foods. There is also a guide to estimating the calorie content of foods that are not listed. There are useful facts about the fat, protein and carbohydrate content of food included throughout.
