At-a-glance tables to help you plan and shop for healthy meals that are low in calories but high in nutrients. Packed full of information and advice for the health-conscious slimmer, this book takes a fresh look at “calorie counting”.
The Healthy Diet Calorie Counter helps the reader to identify foods that are both low in calories and rich in the essential nutrients that the body needs to be healthy – the proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals that are essential for boosting immunity and natural vitality. Easy-to-use tables convey at a glance the nutritional value of more than 600 foods, while a unique “Quality Calorie” point system tells whether the calories in a particular food are “good“ or “empty”. Also included are tables that enable you to work out the right calorie intake for your height, weight and activity level, and help you to plan and shop for healthy but slimming meals. Kirsten Hartvig is a registered naturopath and a member of the National Institute of Medical Herbalists. Her publications include Eat For Immunity and The Detox Box, as well as Energy Foods and Energy Juices, all for DBP.
