I used fitday for awhile but I absolute love thedailyplate.com - I have only had to add one item for over a week's worth of foods, and that was a local organic peanut butter! Everything else has been in there :)

I started using thedailyplate.com a few days ago too. Love it. I was on Weight Watchers Online before, but their website sucked. So slow!. I don't like the fitday.com interface, so I never used it.

I really had extremely low expectations for it, but The Daily Plate blew me away. So fast. So easy.

I've tried FitDay, NutriDiary, MyFoodDiary and CalorieKing and for me, the winner is Calorie King. They have over 50,000 foods in their database. Plus you can change the serving size around very easily. It automatically changes the nutritional info if you change it from 1 cup to .75 cup, stuff like that. It's $45 to download, but I'm glad I bought it!

I use Calorie King as a reference, too, but I prefer The Daily Plate for tracking. I use multiple computers, so I like having a web-only interface.

I just posted this on another thread....

I'm using Calorie King to journal. It's only $45 a year. I also bought their desktop software and the PDA software. The computer and PDA will sync and then I can upload the data from the computer to the web (if I wanted anyone to view my food journal). They update their database every Saturday.

I know it isn't a free site, but I am more apt to use something if I paid good money for it. :) Like my gym membership even though I own a treadmill and recumbent bike. Knowing I have to go 12 times a month to get my $20 health insurance discount makes me go - which is good for me.

dont you have to pay for thedailyplate? I have been using fitday for over a year and I thought the dailyplate looked really cool but I cant add food??/

I bought the Fitday download which I find much nicer to use than the free one. I use calorie-count.com and the daily plate to find things and plug in the numbers in Fitday. I also make a lot of my own custom foods so that I don't have to do that all the time.

I've been a FitDay user for many years, and recently switched to the Daily Plate. I like how the Daily Plate has many, many more foods (haven't had to add one yet!). However, I'm also disappointed by a few things, especially the way you enter your servings. There's usually only one option for entering servings in the Daily Plate - you have to put number of standard servings, and can't select whether you'd rather enter cups, grams, or something else. FitDay usually had that option. Also, FitDay has better graphs and reports. Overall, though, I think the Daily Plate is easier to use.
