I have the complete book of nutrition..its breaks things down (Including fast

food places) by fat, protein, carbs, sodium etc. I find it very useful!!

All,

I have just placed three new protein count files in the files section

of this group. These are from the USDA data set as published in table

2 of Home and Garden Bulletin No. 72, " Nutritive Value of Foods, "

revised 1985. The list is HUGE, quite comprehensive, and

authoritative. This data is the source of nutritional information used

by many authors of nutrition books, yet is free :-)

There are 2 Excel spreadsheets, one sorted by food name, the other

sorted by protein content. There is also a simple text file, sorted by

food name. They are in the " Protein " (lists of protein counts) folder:

Enjoy,
