Did you see the year this was from, OP? I’m genuinely curious to see when a book like this would have been popular

I think my mom had something similar from her weight watcher days, early 90s maybe?

I found one on [eBay](https://ebay.us/m/REN1FY) with a couple other pictures and looks like it was compiled by Hallmark. Didn’t mention the year :/

It’s fun to see how the sizes of things changed. That biscuit is tiny compared to what we usually think of. A 4 inch pancake is closer to normal, but still smaller. At some point the mass produced items will shrinkflation their way back lol

This is such a treasure! I can’t believe you didn’t buy it!
Aww! My grandma had that one in the exact same color, and another in navy blue. She took them with her to every restaurant. She gave me one but my parents quickly said no…
It didn’t stop me counting, just meant i counted waaay higher haha.

There’s a similar one on [Etsy](https://www.etsy.com/listing/991541953/vintage-pocket-memo-notebook-health?ls=a&ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=vintage+calorie+book&ref=sc_gallery-1-9&plkey=LT4ec62c82da2f504c28e7c86db601679a2610c6dc%3A991541953) from 1960 with a pencil attached!
This is mad cute.
