The book contains several pages that show the cost of the pounds you pack on and the money consumers spend on a variety of fast-food items, sandwiches, sweets and drinks. "Our Money Calorie Counter is not meant to deprive you of ever eating a chocolate bar or having the latte you are craving," they write. "It is meant to make you aware of what you are spending your money on and how you can cut back to save and build wealth."
Along with calorie-counting tips, you get the usual personal finance advice. The women cover budgeting, home buying and getting rid of debt. This is a slim book, but with a lot of good financial advice.
