PRODUCT DETAILS
This classic guide to nutrition has helped put the “balance” in balanced diets - since 1937!

The book’s main table lists more than 8,500 common foods - and contains data on the nutritional content of foods, organized by food groups. Supplementary tables define the content of lesser-known foods. Each food entry is thoroughly evaluated to include calorie content, weight, water, protein, fat, cholesterol, carbohydrate, dietary fiber, and major vitamins and minerals. The latest information on fiber and monosaturated fat content is addressed, and a bibliography of sources for current food composition data is provided. 512 pages, 9" x 11". Spiral bound.
