Nothing especially new:

I bought this book because of the great reviews, but really, I didn't learn anything very new. I know not to eat too large of servings and generally what foods to avoid. I thought this would help me deal with other cuisines and have an idea of how to come up with a calorie count for some common dishes from other cuisines - I have to say, it was a bit of a let-down.

Eat Out, Eat Right: The Guide to Healthier Restaurant Eating (Paperback:

If you eat out, and want to get/stay healthy, you need to have this book. I eat out often, and Hopes book is like a menu decoder. We all need one, or restaurants should have a copy to loan to patrons.

Highly Recommended for Eating Out:

Eat Out, Eat Right is a wonderful resource for anyone who is looking for healthier choices when eating out. Offers lots of help with best choices, worst choices and many tips on ordering. I especially like the suggestions listed under Special Requests for different specialty restaurants. These are perfect to refer to when asking for changes and these help you to be in control of your choices. Highly recommended. Brenda J. Ponichtera, RD, author of the Quick & Healthy cookbooks

Sectioned into Food Categories:

At first I was a little taken back by this book. From the postings I thought it would include a complete listing of restaurants and their nutrition charts. To my surprise it was "chunked" into different sections - Chinese, Thai, Italian, etc. From here, it went on to explain what's good to eat in each food category along with words to avoid (fried, alfredo, etc). It was helpful since pasta dishes use very different words to describe their food options than Chinese dishes.
