Gary Null's Nutrition Sourcebook for the '80sAbstract: A comprehensive nutrient and calorie guide to thousands of common foods lists the amounts of protein, carbohydrates, fats, fiber, cholesterol, sodium, vitamins and minerals in each food. Foods are listed in the form in which they are usually eaten, and foods not readily available are excluded. the average serving is given in 100-gram portions for most items. The information is intended not only for those who choose to follow a special diet (e.g., hig h protein), but also for those who suffer from food allergies. In each section (e.g., minerals, vitamins) foods are listed in order of the amount of that nutrient they contain; this format introduces the concept of nutrient density and helps the consumer compare food values for calories and nutrients.
