About this product
Healthy eating is easier than ever with this guide to 12 essential nutrient values for thousands of foods―now with an index and 3 new restaurant chains! For people looking to lose weight, manage health issues like diabetes or high blood pressure, or simply consume a greater variety of nutrients, knowing what’s in each meal and snack is key.

This new edition incorporates an index, additional restaurant chains (Shake Shack, In-N-Out, and Applebee’s), and up-to-date values for brands and restaurants. There’s also guidance on setting personal targets for calories and fluids as well as tips on getting enough of key nutrients.

Editor's Take
Amazon’s listing signals that this book is well received, with a 4.3-star rating and hundreds of ratings, suggesting it is a useful quick-reference nutrition guide. Amazon snippets describe it as compact, well organized, and highly detailed, and BookAuthority highlights it as a practical resource for precise nutrient tracking.
What readers seem to like: portability, fast lookups for calories and macronutrients, and the inclusion of restaurant-chain data. Amazon reviewers and related bookstore snippets emphasize its usefulness for everyday food tracking and dining-out decisions.
What is less clear: the search results did not surface strong Reddit threads or detailed forum discussions for this exact edition, and one retailer page showed no customer reviews at all. That means the clearest evidence comes from Amazon’s rating summary and a few book/product pages rather than broad community debate.
YouTube: no real YouTube watch URLs appeared in the search results, so no video IDs are included.
