Weight control guidelines emphasize moderation in caloric intake, physical activity, and behavior modification. An executive diet guide based on a variety of foods from the Basic Four food groups, and tips for eating meals away from home are included.

Food composition charts show the calorie, fat, cholesterol, and sodium contents of nearly 1000 commonly used foods. References are cited for further research on selected topics.
