Calorie, Carb and Fat Bible 2009

I bought this book from Amazon a couple of weeks ago for £8.44. It is given reasonable reviews. The only downside remarked on by the reviewers is the fact that although very comprehensive, the listings are 95% prepared foods. However, although this is indeed the case, I haven't yet had any difficulties finding any fresh food - and as a vegetarian I do tend to eat more unusual vegetables than most. One slightly odd thing is that butternut squash is listed under 'squash' (an American term) alongside orange squash and the like. However, there is a prepared butternut squash meal listed under 'butternut'!

The book lists thousands of food items and for each, gives calories for a typical portion and also for 100g. It also gives carbohydrates, fat and proteins. It has certainly become my calorie bible - I haven't found an equivalent book anywhere. The book is regularly updated (the latest version is for 2009 products). It is written by Juliette Kellow, Lyndel Costain and Rebecca Walton. The link above takes you to the Amazon page where you can buy it.
