Summary: I been SUPERSIZED with a load of bull
Review: After reading this book make me wonder if the two what wrote this book really be athletes or if they stay running one step ahead of the law. Sister give me this book cause she know I like to eat. And I do exercise. But this book stank so bad if you hold it next to the food you eating, you lose your appetite, and maybe your meal before that.

Summary: Every Guy's Gotta Get This Book!
Review: As a gal who knows too many 40-something, paunchy single guys who rely on restaurant fare, fast-food, take-out and delivery, A Guy's Gotta Eat offers a fresh and even fun way for guys to eat healthy at home. The author not only backs-up his advice with easy-to-understand nutrition information, but also advises guys on what kitchen equipment to have on-hand, and shares simple cooking tips and even his own monthly grocery list. This book offers a practical and common sense approach to eating healthy, and is also a fun read. I've bought A Guy's Gotta Eat for all the guy friends that I care about, and I encourage the author to consider a sequel: A Gal's Gotta Eat too, you know!

Summary: Did I miss something?
Review: Here's what this book never explained: if you are WILLING to cook at all, you can cook anything you want. So why do you need this book? You don't. Cooking for yourself is a personal hurdle that you either accomplish or you don't. If you can get to the point of cooking at all, then you don't need this book...the world is at your dutch oven. The advice in the book is nothing that you haven't read in ANY magazine that you can pick up, whether it's a men's health magazine or even any ladies magazine. The recipes may as well have been gleaned from the same pages as those same magazines. There was NOTHING in this book new. This was a major league disappointment.

Summary: Fast food that's also good for you
Review: I borrowed this book from a friend and liked it so much I just bought one myself. The book is a little bit of everything -- very practical advice about how to eat healthy without spendin a lot of time and money to do it. There's also great advice on how to best set up your kitchen and even order groceries. The author's idea is to basically shop for groceries once a month. Works for me!Lots of great recipes in here that are very tasty and easy to make. I also appreciated the effort the author made to back up so many of his statments with research. Very practical thinking in here -- yet fully backed by solid science. "Diets" don't usually work long-term because they're inherently restrictive, but from reading this book, you get the sense that Mr. Klettke loves to eat and more specifically, loves to eat good food. Lots of detail in here about how to incorporate strong spices and seasonings into your food and I learned a lot about how the pleasure of eating is often found in enjoying different tastes and textures at once. For someone who is getting a little older, likes to stay active, wants to eat better, but doesn't want to jump on that Atkins bandwagon, you should definitely consider this book.

Summary: More nutrition eating the pages
Review: I saw the book in the discount bin at the book store and I thought the title was cute. I thought, well, the guy gotta eat so that's why he wrote a book so he could sell something to dopes and have enough money to eat...that should have been the whole title. The book was awful. The recipes were unappetizing, and the nutrition doubtful. It would have been nice if the author, and I use that term loosely, just like the stools some of the recipes induced, if the author had given us the nutrition content of the paper it was written on...surely it is better for you than any advice they tried to put on you.

Summary: Dude Food
Review: No, that's not the title of my review...that's another of the books in this genre...and a little catchier...I found it when I was looking for a Guy's Gotta Eat. Others included A Man, A Can and A Plan. Another was Can Opener Gourmet. Another was Help My Apartment Has a Kitchen! Even cuter titles, but all say basically the same thing. Different words, no new information. I'm guessing that since this book is Amazon's rank 37,585 or something like that that only these reviewers have actually read the book...and maybe not even those have read it. I'm thinking like one of the reviewers that said all the good reviews were written by the author's own Public Relations company. I don't guess they would give him bad press, would they? Anyway, I did read it, and I don't think there is anything new. And what was presented was done in a way that A Guy's Gotta Be An Idiot! Surely the American male is not this dumb.

Summary: Simple but effective. Clever idea
Review: Somebody had given me this book as a gift. They know that I like to exercise, and I am not very handy in the kitchen, and that this book, at least from the cover, might be a good thing to have. I read it. I didn't think there was anything new in the information provided. And there was a couple of recipes that sounded good, but you can get those from ANY magazine that you pick up. The writer or the nutritionist one wrote that no one knows for sure about what makes good nutrition which I don't believe. But there was a simple article in this week's Chicago Tribune which spoke to eating right. Eat more plants. Eat less red meat. Eat more plants with color. Simple, makes sense. No processing. What does it take to boil something, or steam something. Nothing. Good eating does not have to be hard if you really want to do it at home. And there are health alternatives in eating out, if you really don't want to cook at home. My friend told me he got this from Amazon, so I don't guess I can send it back.

Summary: clark in malibu
Review: This is the first book I've ever seen that really understands guys and how we feed. I've defaulted to fast food and the deli for years simply because the whole grocery and cooking process was just too big of a hassle to figure out. I'm a smart guy, but I don't want to be a chef or spend time trying to learn what I "should" buy. All I want is something to eat! Klettke really nails it. Finally a no-brainer, easy book that takes "gotta start eating better" off my list of things I'm supposed to do. Ever more surprising -- I actually enjoy going to the store and making meals, because for the first time in my life I feel like I know what I'm doing. Thanks, Russ!

Summary: Why is there no "ZERO" star category?
Review: What a rip off. The recipes in this book seem like they were ripped right out of the pages of Ladies Home Journal. And what's up ladies? Is that what happened? I mean, you can get better, simpler, tastier recipes than this online without having to buy the book. As for the rest of the stuff that the book says, I agree with other reviewers that there is nothing new here. Nothing at all. It's as though it were written by someone taking a writing class for the first time. "Okay class, we are going to write about what's in our refrigerator. I'm going to need your composition to be 1000 words and you're going to talk about what might be in a refrigerator if you were trying to eat more healthy foods." It's blather. If one needs something like this to be healthier, they have many other issues that should be addressed first.
