This little book is invaluable for anyone who travels or has to eat frequently. It offers a simple alternative to popular restaurants and allows the reader a better choice to take. Its compact size allows you to carry it with you in the car or in your briefcase. The colorful pictures and simple text make it useful for younger people to watch what they eat, but do not want to say to their friends, they can not go a certain fast-food joint, because there are no good choices. This enables them to make better decisions!

I have made this book five stars because it is so easy. I would have found it helpful, it would have an attachment (text only) with all of calories, fat, etc. breakdowns of all items on menus at popular fast-food restaurants. This would be a great addition to the simpler information in the main text were presented. Nevertheless, this book should prove very valuable to anyone making use of the information to heart and actually use.

This guide gives you a lot of smart decisions to help you manage your weight, so that you can still go to places without packing on how to eat a lot of weight. If you do not know what you put into your body, you can big mistake when it comes to the decisions you make will come. Sometimes will contain your main meal could be two days worth of fat, says Dave we have these choices to enjoy themselves even when eating either in restaurants or fast food restaurants.
There is information that you may not to hear over here and when you find out why are the choice even easier for us. When he talks about the amount of meat in burgers and can be like four days worth of meat in one sitting. Scary. He has done a years worth investigating in order to establish this book together and bring us these facts and that sit down the typical fast-food restaurant about 552 calories per entre, and a typical restaurant has about 870 and these figures in a better choice shock.
Dave is well researched and knows what he’s talking about. I love this book and find it really interesting, even if you do not need to respect to your weight, but just want to make healthier choices only. You can do it with him, if you’re in the drive through or at a deli, etc etc. So I think everyone can benefit from reading this book and would be the perfect birthday gift or a treatment to be done. I love it.

PROS * Easy to carry. Fits well in the handbag. Mobile phone on holiday.
* Used to read pretty pictures

* Fun * Easy.
Many familiar products / mainstream restaurants * included. < br /> * quickly recognize healthiest products on its menu.

CONS * Fuzzy Math Some of the comparisons make no sense - like turn the Baskin Robbins section - why is Rocky Road ice cream bad (290 calories, 15gfat (8 SAT), 32g sugar), but two Scoop Hot Fudge Sundae is good (530 calories, 29g fat (19sat) and 52 g of sugar.) What?? I do not get it.

* I do not want the caloric facts * *-- fact, for example, under the section SONIC list of authors of the Grilled Chicken Wrap, as only 380 calories, not to mention that this is without dressing. Double check the calorie content on the restaurant's web site before dinner.

* Contradictory. Evidently Goldfish crackers are bad when they come out of a vending machine (p. 193), but good as gone a store shelf. (216). Rating: 5.3
