Counting Calories: Common Food Types, Diet, Health

The essential companion to our 'Quick and Easy, Proven Recipes' range, 'Counting Calories' is an invaluable guide to keeping track of your calorie intake - whether you need to lose weight or simply want to maintain your figure. The book begins with useful information on what calories are, how many you need, how to eat a healthy diet (including the difference between 'healthy' and 'empty' calories) and tips on losing weight. It then provides easy-to-use lists of foods and drinks, organized by type of food, providing the calorie content per portion and per 100 g, along with the fat content per 100 g and a 'health rating' to aid you in all-round healthy eating.
