The Protein Counter by Peggy Clarke
This is an excellent resource for anyone who has had bariatric surgery. It is well organized and items are easy to find. It’s a big help!
Protein Counter by P. Crowley
I have found The Protein Counter very helpfull. I had a gastric bypass and need to get my protein in. I refer to this book all the time.
Very good, but could be improved by Lu
At first blush this thick paperback made me think every food in the world must be in it! And a lot of food is (after all, where could you find the nutrition count of muskrat?!). I love the listings of chicken, for example, by the part or by the weight. And there is nutrition information for a lot of fast food and other dining places, too, which is great. I also love that the nutrition counts just don’t focus on protein, but give other nutrients, and also calories.
But just the day after I got the book I discovered two omissions that I think are rather significant: only one or two Boca products are listed (this is a textured soy protein). I wanted to make chili with Boca crumbles and to see what the protein counts were on other Boca products and most were not available. (Yes, I know I can look at the label after I purchase the product. Or stand in the store and compare.)
Another omission was anything from Red Lobster. It seems like it would be easy to obtain the information (from any major restaurant chain) and include it. I wanted to be prepared before I dined there, so I would know what some good choices were. Again, I can obtain the information by going to their website (I hope), but that defeats the purpose of having the book!
The Protein Counter by S. Farrell
My husband needs to control the amount of protein he eats a day. This book is excellent for this purpose. It’s easy to use and very complete. It also includes the calories and fat grams for all the items listed as well as brand name items and restaurant chain foods.
