Description:
Eat This, Not That! Thousands of Simple Food Swaps that Can Save You 10, 20, 30 Pounds-or More!
By: David Zinczenko

Americans spend more than $400 billion a year eating out, and behind each burger, turkey sandwich, and ice cream sundae is a simple decision that could help you control your weight—and your life. The problem is, restaurant chains and food producers aren't interested in helping you make healthy choices. In fact, they invest $30 billion a year on advertising, much of it aimed at confusing eaters and disguising the fat and calorie counts of their products. All of that has changed with EAT THIS, NOT THAT!. This book puts the entire food industry under the spotlight, and arms you with the savvy tricks and insider information it takes to eat well no matter where you are. With EAT THIS, NOT THAT! you're the expert in every eating situation, from the frozen food aisle to your favorite fast food joint to your local sports bar. You control your food universe—and lose the pounds you want--because, unlike every other customer, you'll know the smart choices to make—instantly!  EAT THIS, NOT THAT! is jam-packed with secrets the restaurant industry doesn't want you to know. For example: • Burger King doesn't want you to know that a BK Big Fish® Sandwich and fries have a whopping 1000 calories—nearly half your daily caloric intake! (Fish is usually healthy, but not this kind. Find out why with this book.)

It's a good book for deciding what to eat when you have to eat out.  It has nutritional content for most US restaurants in alphabetical order.  The valuable part of this book is the nutritional info for restaurants that either don't provide it, or don't make it easily accessible.  They provide 3 or 4 healthy meal choices, and 3 or 4 bad meal choices from each restaurant.

The book is not very detailed, and uses lots of photos.  As an easy reference it is good, but I'm not sure how many people would carry this around in their purse/bag/briefcase unless they eat out alot.

For me, as a Canadian, it's not that useful since there are alot of Canadian chains that aren't represented, and also much of the nutritional info is different between the US and Canadian stores of the same chains.  I would not buy this for myself, but can see how others might find it useful.
