Calorie counting is the foundation of most diets. Despite most food standards organisations' legislations and mandatory nutritional labelling, dietary claims on food can often be confusing or misleading.

Calorie Counter is an A-Z guide providing a clear and accurate breakdown of nutritional information, (kcal, KJ, fat, saturated fat, protein, carbohydrate and fibre) in more than 1,900 favourite foods. Nutritional facts are presented in easy-to-read tables and the book includes information for various diets and special food needs and comes in a handy pocket format.
