Healthy eating is easier than ever with this guide to 12 essential nutrient values for thousands of foods—now with information on eating while on GLP-1 medications, and nutrient values for 5 new restaurant chains!
For people looking to lose weight, manage health issues like diabetes or high blood pressure, support their bodies while on GLP-1 medications like Ozempic or Mounjaro, or simply consume a greater variety of nutrients, knowing what’s in each meal and snack is key. But with so many options for what to eat, keeping up with nutritional data can be overwhelming.

This new edition includes additional restaurant chains (Cracker Barrel, Jack-in-the-Box, Jersey Mike’s, Papa John’s, and Waffle House), and up-to-date values for brands and restaurants.
There’s also guidance on setting personal targets for calories and fluids as well as tips on getting enough of key nutrients. At home or on the go, whether you need help navigating grocery store aisles or fast-food menus, this handbook takes the work (and tech) out of eating right.
