i recently bought the 4th edition of “The Complete Food Counter and am very disappointed in it!! You left out alot of items that were in the 3rd edition.. And the shocker was you left out Arby’s and Wendy’s in the restaurant chains!! You should not delete any items from previous editions but keep adding new items. That’s what i look for.. In the restaurant Chain section why not add The Cheesecake Factory and show how crappy their foods are! I’ll go look at the Most Complete Food Counter and see what thats like.. thanks for reading this. I will look forward to the 5th edition of the Complete Food Counter.. Sincerly Lynda Lambert
Sorry you are disappointed but it is impossible to put every food in every counter. We track thousands of foods and our publisher decides how big a book can be. Often foods are not updated and we do not want to provide our readers with old data. Other times information is not available. Many restaurant chains do not provide data or they only give limited information because currently this is not required by law. I there are any specific foods you are looking for and we can provide information, let us know and we will be happy to help.
I have your “The Complete Food Counter”, 3rd Edition. Do you have a program (similar to Calorie King?) I can use on my iphone? I always remember to take my cell phone, but not always the book. I find using my cell phone to log information quicker & more private. Plus it enables me to stay within my range. I find that its not easy locating foods on Calorie King, and would think your books would be great information to be put on mobile devices for logging and printing.
You will enjoy using our latest app Your Complete Food Counter. It not only provides the nutrients you wish to track but allows you set personal goals and keep a daily log of the foods you eat. Scroll to the top of page and click on “Find Out More” to explore the app further.
Hello! I know this is kinda off topic however
I’d figured I’d ask. Would you be interested in exchanging links
or maybe guest authoring a blog post or vice-versa?
My website addresses a lot of the same subjects as yours and I think
we could greatly benefit from each other. If you’re interested feel free to send me an e-mail. I look forward to hearing from you! Fantastic blog by the way!
Link exchange is nothing else but it is just placing the other person’s blog link on your page at appropriate place and other person will also do same for you.
