If you really want to get some insight into what your eating, and what you could be eating at different restaurants I would get this book. I can't tell you how much this book helped me. It really gives you a new perspective on what your eating. It's great!!!!

This book, although skewed towards the male of the species, is still incredibly helpful for people trying to eat healthier in this unhealthy world. Lots of great information, good advice, and useful photographs. Keep it in your car so you know how to choose the right foods wherever you eat!
The best eating companion September 8, 2008
This book is in a look up and refer to a specific eating occasion, restaurant, or other food related situation. It provides simple easy to read comparisons of what the reader should consider eating and consider avoiding in a particular holiday/occasion setting or trpe of restaurant setting. I would suggest, hoever, that the writers should consider versions for different regions of the U.S. with references to popular occasions, traditions and restaurants specific to that region.
Helpful Addition to Other Nutrition Books, Valuable If You Eat Out or Buy Processed Foods. September 8, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
If you want to make better food choices this is a good book to look into. Especially if you eat out for the majority of your meals but haven't paid attention to fat and calories that you ingest. Warning -- You may be horrified to discover what you've been pumping into your body.
If you aren't ready to make changes avoid this book. Cheeseburgers weighing in at 1,000 calories at a pop followed by a coffee smoothie at over 500 could really rain on your parade. Want to know how much of your daily fat count/calorie count would be exhausted by half an onion blossom? If you do, it's there in full color.
Those who want to make better food choices overall might want to consider looking a deeper into nutritional choices in additional books like those covering the glycemic index, healthy fats and how to introduce more plants and get away from processed. But this is a great resource for someone who has to eat out a lot or prefers to buy prepackaged foods yet wants to make better choices. The details of choices are not complete, mostly calories and fat counts with occasional additional counts such as sodium and whether an item contains trans fat or high fructose corn syrup.
Full of eye catching photos and colors with details that break down major restaurant chains best and worst menu choices. A very helpful guide on decoding menu items at major types of restaurants is included that is worth the purchase price. Other guides give details on best and worst items at your grocery store. Some small color boxes are difficult to read because of lack of color contrast and small print.
