You won't believe what they include! by Jeff D. Fennell

This book is certainly complete, although I think they could include values for smaller portions to make it easier to calculate some things. It does the job though. However, I got even more then I expected from this book because now I know that squirrel has less calories then Opossum or Muskrat. No, I am not kidding! Frog legs? Yep, they're included! I also learned that apparently you can eat ferns, because they're in there too. Who knows what I might find next!?!

A calorie counter with a different title by Lindsay (Connecticut USA)

I just received this as a gift and will be returning it. It is NOT a protein counter like it advertises, instead it is just a regular calorie counting book that just happens to include calories, protein, fat and carbs, in that order. All the foods listed are in ALPHABETICAL ORDER ONLY. I was expecting foods to be listed in order of protein per serving, since protein is what I am most concerned with and that is what the title lead me to believe. I understand that having foods ALSO listed in alphabetical order can come in handy, but the way it is makes it EXTREMELY time consuming to find the highest protein foods available, which is what I want. If anyone DOES know of a book that lists foods in the order of how much protein is in each serving (highest to lowest would be the best) please reply to my post with the title, it will help me tremendously. Thank you.

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
