When we talk of "calorie counting" we usually mean keeping a tab on the number of calories we eat, regardless of where those calories come from - the result being a diet that is low in calories but potentially of little nutritional value. In this book you learn to recognise "healthy" calories - calories derived from foods that are nutritious.

Proteins are essential for the health of our bones and skin. Fats include essential fatty acids, which are important for the prevention of disease. Carbohydrates are made up of saccharides, starch and fibre - which are the body's primary sources of energy. Vitamins and minerals are also vital components of a healthy diet. For optimum health, every day we should consume certain amounts of each nutrient.

In this book, protein, fat, carbohydrate, vitamin and mineral contents are expressed as percentages of their ideal daily quota, enabling you to maximise your nutrient intake while at the same time counting calories. A unique "Quality Calorie Point" system tells you at a glance whether the calories in that particular food are good or "empty".
