Advantages: Convenient for fast food eaters

Disadvantages: None, according to me

This is such an amazing book which is bound to delight every health-conscious person out there! I am a health freak and usually count my daily intake of calories. It may sound weird but I always logged on the internet to find the nutritional info about each and every single food I consumed. This proved to be quite a task when I ate out because I didn't have access to the net, unless of course, I splashed out on WAP. But ever since I purchased that book, I have been delighted with both the book and the helpfulness of it.


The very first aspect which impressed me was the size and weight. It was quite small to easily slip into a handbag for when I eat out. This may cause a drawback to those who have difficulty with, or for those who are irritated with small handwritings. Personally, I just whipped my reading glasses out and soon became literally buried in the book. For starters, it has an introductory feature which tells you all you need to know about idea weight based on gender, age and height. In addition, there is also a small feature on BMI- Body Mass Index's, how to calculate yours and whether yours is medically approved to be in the healthy range or not.


I also liked the fact that we were not only provided with the fiber value of many meals, but the calories were classified as per brands. This means that if I want to have a Big Mac, I can just whip out my book and consult the calories and nutritional info. As nutritional info, there is more than just the fiber content; you are given the protein, carbohydrate and fat of most ready-made or take out food. I have to admit that from this angle, the Collins Calorie Counter may not be suitable for people who prefer eating in than out. I would rather recommend it to people who like me, constantly have to eat out and are health conscious.


I got my copy off Amazon UK for only £2.53. Other buying options include 30 new copies at 0.51 or seven used copies at 0.81.


Overall, I would say that it is quite a good, detailed book at a bargain price.


Thanks for reading!
