I got an email recently saying they were bringing out a new (pocket sized) version of the great Carbs and Calories book. I've stupidly deleted the email - has anyone got the contact for it please ? :(
 
This book has helped me so much , now they do handbag size will have to treat myself to one 🙂
 
Thanks for posting this. Just ordered one for my son as he's going away to school next wednesday 😱 Hopefully it's small enough to carry about

I saw the Dietician at the hospital this week and she had the pocket sized book on her desk and is raving about how good it is. I've got the larger one and it's very good but I'm looking forward to using the smaller one as it's handbag sized and a really good price.
 
I have recently bought the pocket size. It is great always having it in my handbag ready to use.
 
I saw a dietician recently and told/reminded me about the full size version of this book, never knew there was a smaller size.

My question...

Does the pocket version have a lot less, or smaller pics, or is it thicker?

As when I looked at it in the book shop it looked awesome!

Cheers

It must be a dietitians book of choice as the one I seen on Monday had a copy too. Not bought this yet and will ask for it for christmas🙂

You can get the book as an App., think its about ?4.00. Thats the only reason I changed my phone when my 6 year old was diagnosed as I thought it would make life easier when we are out and about

Hi everyone! We are Carbs & Cals and can confirm that the Pocket Counter contains all the same foods as the main books, but with only 1 or 2 portions of each food. It's ⅓ of the size and weight, so it's great to keep in your bag for using when out & about.

Thanks for confirming - it's a very popular book, great work guys! 🙂
 
Haven't got the book but seriously considering it.

Might have to wait for sales time.🙂

How many portions of food does the original size have, in the process of buying this book and will probably buy the full size version as I rarely use one when eating out.
 
After reading about it on here, I go the pocket size version, it has a small and large portion, so really helps when playing the guessing game.............:D
