Carbs & Cals Carb & Calorie Counter: Count Your Carbs & Calories with Over 1,700 Food & Drink Photos!

This book has been an invaluable resource for managing my Type 2 diabetes and navigating my diet. It's brimming with useful information on carbs, which has made meal planning so much easier. I appreciate the clear layout and the detailed breakdowns of nutrient values across different portions. This has been particularly helpful when trying to keep things varied, like whipping up different pasta dishes.However, there are a few minor drawbacks. While the images of foods in various weights are informative, they can be a tad overwhelming. A standard 100g reference alongside the different options would’ve simplified the calculations. Moreover, the absence of more comprehensive data on sugar and fats feels like a missed opportunity.All in all, this book truly shines as a reference guide for anyone needing to watch their carb intake. From casual family meals to dining out at national chains, it helps keep you on track. Highly recommended!

Great book, really informative and has so many foods in there, great selection.Good balance of information and photos so really easy to identify where you could be going wrong!Also has good range of gluten free foods included.

Great information for diabetic who needs guidance

What an amazing book! Used with a good set of kitchen scales, it is easy to work out your calories and food values. It's very reassuring to know my protein intake, being elderly. I can even refer to this book for my dog's nutritional needs, as she eats only human grade fresh food. Very easy to follow, and concise.I would highly recommend it to anyone wishing to monitor their diets!

Great book has all you need to know so easy to understand

Excellent reference book for anyone with diabetes.

The "Carb and Calorie Counter" book serves as a useful reference for individuals looking to manage their dietary intake more effectively. With its extensive food database and nutritional information, it offers valuable assistance in making informed choices about what to eat.One of the book's initial draws is the promise of a free 14-day trial of the accompanying app. However, it's disappointing to discover that this trial isn't as advertised, as accessing certain features within the app requires a subscription. This lack of transparency regarding the true nature of the trial can be frustrating for users expecting a genuine opportunity to explore the app's capabilities without additional costs.Furthermore, while the book provides valuable information, it faces stiff competition from numerous free or more reasonably priced apps offering similar functionality. Given the relatively high price point of the book, it's reasonable to expect more generous terms for accessing the linked app. Offering a complimentary subscription for at least six months would provide users with a more substantial incentive to invest in the book.Despite these drawbacks, the "Carb and Calorie Counter" book remains a useful tool for individuals seeking guidance on managing their nutritional intake. Its comprehensive food reference and nutritional data make it a valuable resource for those looking to make healthier choices. However, potential buyers should be aware of the limitations of the accompanying app trial and consider whether the book's benefits outweigh the associated costs.
