Try logging on to Cyberdiet.com. It is a really helpful site for assisting in

tracking your nutrient intake and weight loss progress.

Pam,

I use the Nutrition Analysis Tool at the University of Illinois. It will

break down each individual food into all its nutrients, plus you

can get it to recommend foods high or low in a particular nutrient

or vitamin. You can also " build " a food or a meal, like a

sandwich or an entire day's worth of food and see the combined

totals. It also includes fast foods and brand names.

(I use version 2...I don't know why version 1 is still up there.)

The interface can be kind of clunky, but the information is

unbeatable compared to any pocket book or commercial site

(they aren't trying to sell you food or diets). Keep in mind that the

recommended daily amounts are for a normal, non-DS person!

Good luck!

I have The Complete Book of Food Counts. It breaks all foods down by

protein, fiber, caleries, fats, etc. It's very good and very thorough.
