What a novel concept - bright colorful pictures of "bad" and "good" choices at popular restaurants. Who knew that Chipotle's burrito is over 1000 calories!?! And that in many restaurants, the salads and turkey burgers are worse options than some of the more daunting menu items?

This book makes it easy to choose the right food to help meet your goals. Not only does it include calorie information, but also data on trans fats, sodium, and other nutrients you might want to keep tabs on.

There is also a section that takes a deeper look at menus from neighborhood restaurants - translating the common phrases seen on Sports Bar, Diner, Mexican (etc.) menus so you know what to steer clear of and which are better choices.

The book also does a good job of giving "splurge" options - items that might have a "bad" element, but also have a really "good" benefit as well.
