I use thedailyplate.com. You can also get to it through livestrong.com. Pretty much everything I eat is in their database. It also gives you a pie chart of the carb, fat, protein ratio that you've eaten that day. It also adds up the grams of fat, etc.... I love it!!!
Gotta say the dailyplate as well, just started using it like 2 weeks ago after seeing it on here. I always figured I couldn't do this whole calorie counting thing because it seemed like such a pain, but it lays out everything for you. Awesome site.
I love DietPower, find it easy and helpful to use, although fitday, for example, is better for things like raw meat - need to know for creating recipes etc.
Also, DietPower is not free, $50, I think but there's a free 15 day trial you can fiddle with.
A site I find helpful~(Just to check amount of calories burned and needed to eat to lose weight ect Is www.freedieting.com
(I know it's not what your asking for exactly but I wanted to post it for ya so U could check it out too.) But I think daily plate is a great site for what you are asking for today.But if ya get a chance check out www.freedieting.com also~it's a great site.
wendyland and BorntoFly - I added you as friends on thedailyplate. this is my first day on there, I have been using fitday and felt like I needed a change. I am still learning the ropes.
I just joined Caloriecounter.com and am having a hard time believing the amount of calories it tells me I burn and that I should consume. It says that I burn 4,300 calories a day!!!!??? how!? and that I should be eating 2, 750??? I only eat about 1,500 a day and am wondering if that is too low and is the reason why I'm not losing weight as fast (3 pounds a month). I weigh 238, but I am very active, doing about 9 hours of very intense cardio a week (spinning, running, yoga, power walking) ...I don't know, I'm just having a hard time believing I'm supposed to be eating THAT much, that seems like and endless amount of food!! Help

Maybe try bumping up it up to 2000 calories for a couple of weeks and see if you lose more. If you're working out that much, you're going to need more calories. From experience, when I actually ate more healthy calories and worked out, I lost the best. HTH!
I like The Dailyplate too for counting for the day. For quick look ups, I use Calorie King. I like Calorie King because you can see the calories and macros by the ounce, gram, and other serving sizes.
