DISCOVER HOW TO PUT PROTEIN TO WORK FOR YOU
Every day your body needs protein to build and replace millions of cells. And your need for protein goes up during stress, exercise, weight loss, illness, injury, pregnancy, and after surgery. Now, the two nationally recognized registered dietitians and nutritionists who created the national bestsellers The Fat Counter and The Cholesterol Counter give you the most complete, up-to-date protein information:
• Protein, fat, carbohydrate, and calorie values for 15,000 brand-name and generic foods, including energy bars and drinks, and soy, organic, and vegetarian products
• Tips for using amino acid and protein supplements
• Four easy steps to find your personalized daily protein requirement based on your activity level, sex, weight, and overall health
• How muscles actually use the protein in the food you eat
• Easy-to-understand information on reading food labels, on protein additives, and much more!
THE PROTEIN COUNTER is as essential to your gym bag as a water bottle!

thought this book would provide some inside into type of protein and recommendations, instead it is just pages up pages of protein listing. Can get that online and must more updated

At very 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!

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.
