Calorie counting is the foundation of most diets. Despite most food standards organisations' legislations and mandatory nutritional labelling, dietary claims on food can often be confusing or misleading.

Nutritional facts are presented in easy-to-read tables and the book includes information for various diets and special food needs and comes in a handy pocket format.Dr Wynnie Chan is a Public Health Nutritionist. She is the editor of four books in the McCance and Widdowson's The Composition of Foods series and the co-author of Fresh Chinese with Ken Hom. She has written numerous articles for consumer magazines and newspapers, as well as scientific journals.
