I'm finding a lot of different sites and have signed up for them all lol
I just don't know which is most preferred or why. I kinda like them all, they all have different features that I like about them. So my question is......
What do you use and what do you like about it?
ok, so the one thats all *'d out is supposed to be s p a r k p e o p l e.com
I use fitday. I usually go off of my nutrition labels and eat similar things over time, so it wasn't hard to overcome the "custom foods entry" hurdle (FitDay doesn't have many packaged/processed foods, so most have to be manually entered). I also focus more on whole foods, or try to, so FitDay does have most of the things I need (fruits, veggies, cuts of meat, etc).
I think its really easy to use and I can use it from any computer. The website-that-shall-not-be-named was WAY too difficult for me to use, plus they sent me all manner of emails that I didn't want to get. I've looked at a couple others, but I really like the Fitday interface.
I used to use Fit Day (and still like them), but have switched to the DailyPlate. I like that they have a much bigger database of name brand and restaurant foods.
I've used TheDailyPlate since March when accidentally stumbled upon it looking for the nutrition information for a particular brand of oatmeal. 21lbs down and I'm not complaining!
However I like the forums at SP and LOVE the forums at Calorie-Count, though I don't track my food there.

I use the "one that shall not be named" (for whatever reason) and like it and also a program that resides on my computer that you don't need an internet connection for.
spark people? Why is it obliterated? I honestly didn't even know what http://www.***********.com was or why it was all ****'d out, so I googled it and found what all the talk was about.
The site that shall not be named at one time was sending members over here to advertise their site. The 3FC admins didn't appreciate that (3FC does not like spamming).
I use FitDay, but I use the downloaded version. It's just the first one I tried, and I like the tools. I've got it all tweaked to give me accurate results, and that took a bit of doing, but now what it tells me correlates to what I see happening. That is, if it tells me I'll lose 1.5 pounds per week over time, by gosh, that's what I lose!
I use fitday - the online one - I have a Mac and the downloaded one is only for PCs. I've found it useful, I rarely eat restaurant or packaged food and it has most of the things I use. Any others are easy to enter.
I use Nutridiary and I love it. The drawback is that no one seems to run the site and you can't upgrade anymore, but the site really does run itself. I've looked occasionally for an alternative but have never found one that comes close. It has the same databases as anywhere else and it really isn't a hassle to enter custom foods.
The really GREAT thing about Nutridiary, aside from the interface, which is clean and easy to read, is the custom meal function, which I use as a recipe bank. I've tried this on Daily Plate and found it clunky and annoying. I have several salads and wraps and egg dishes that I eat ALL the time and I wouldn't want to not be able to save them as complete meals. Same with things I've made a big batch of, like soup. One click to add the entire meal/recipe to my log. Being able to add a recipe as a meal rather than a custom food also means that if I decide to make a change to a recipe the second or third time I make it, it's very easy to change the ingredients. Also good for planning out how many ounces of meat I can get away with putting in my stew and etc.
I use fitday, mostly cause I have used it for longer than most of the other places even existed and I have the downloaded version which is much easier to use for custom foods.
