The Nutribase Guide to Protein, Carbohydrates & Fat: Entries for More Than 40,000 Food Products Including Brand-Name and Generic Foods, Specialty Food

I am the mother of a ten year old diabetic and therefore a bit of a health nut or pro-nutri counter. I can scan a nutrition label in two seconds flat and tell you exactly if it's what it claims to be on the front of the package. Well, as you can imagine, apples don't come with labels and neither do many other things one is presented with to eat. This book is with me always, it gives every possible senario on food that we take in. I am personally into weight training so I need the protein listings which cover every possible food, I have never seen so many kinds of peanut butter in my life! Who knew. I just wish I would have gotten the desk facts book, it also covers fiber intake, which would be useful. It sounds like that book could have a few misprints according to other reviews I read on it, but hey, when one is printing that many tiny numbers, a misprint is no shocker, eg. 130 grams of fat vs. 13? Pretty obvious that a restaurant chicken breast isn't going to have 130 grams of fat. So with that being considered, I'd get the desk reference Nutribase offers, coveres all the catagories. Good luck!
