Harriet Roth's Fat Counter: Third Edition

by Harriet Roth

One of the country's foremost experts on healthy eating, Harriet Roth, has revised and updated her wildly popular original FAT COUNTER book to include foods introduced on the market since 1992. The book lists the amount of calories, fat, percentage of calories from fat, cholesterol, saturated fat and sodium counts for literally thousands of foods. The book also shows readers their ideal body weight and how to calculate calorie amounts and types needed to lose or maintain weight. Roth also de-mystifies the many confusing terms food manufacturers use on their labels, to help you make smart choices when shopping.

Again, I have an older version. I use it all the time. No matter the fad people fuzzing their brains out on low-carb diets, excess fat is most often the culprit you should be targeting. This book helps you figure out how.
