Calorie Tracking Website Recommendations?
 

I've read through here and found some ideas but just in case I've missed some, what are some good free calorie counting sites? I use The Lose It App and love it but my friend doesn't have an Iphone so I'm trying to help her find a site where she can find and record her calories.

Any suggestions would be wonderful. Thanks in advance!

I use the same as Steelers Fan. I like it a lot.

sparkpeople.com

livestrong's thedailyplate.com - I loved it, but now I use Fitbit.

calorie website
 

Hi, I use caloriecount.com for a fast way to look up nutrition info.

There is also http://fitday.com

I like fitday :)

Nutrimirror

Fitday has great reports.

mypyramidtracker.gov. I started using this even before trying to lose weight to get my fruit, veg, and dairy consumption up. Liked earning the smiley faces. Later when I started weight loss plan loved the ongoing average calorie deficit calculation.

I use caloriecount.com. They have several features I like such as:
- Lots of brands/specific products/restaurant menu items products in their food search
- You can add your own foods with the nutritional info
- Recipe analyzer to get nutritional info on recipes, and save them for later use
- Tag foods lets you conveniently add a group of foods to your log at once. I used to plug in every slice of tomato and tbsp of mayo when I had a turkey sandwich or something. I finally figured that I can tag all those items as "turkey sandwich" and just add that. Makes my life easier, lol.
- The analysis section gives you lots of comprehensive info about your calorie deficits and nutrients

I'm not a big fan of their community forum though. I run across too many posts by people who are asking if they'll get fat by eating more than 500 cal/day and such nonsense. I come here for my community support needs :)

I am a hardcore fan of sparkpeople.com lol

I just love the site itself, it has a great community (though I still like this site the best for that) and has really great tracking on weight & helping you set up what you need. You can add recipes or your own items. It lets you track a ton of stuff & you can set what you like to track. & it has alot of amazingly helpful articles and info.

caloriecount.about.com or sparkpeople.com, I like both for different reasons depending on my focus (I have a sp account for recipe calorie calculations)

CC is overall the winner now that they have upgraded their "daily report" thing.

Livestrong is awesome :)

Same here. Good, solid, well reasoned thoughts.

I use my two apps, and FitDay if my schedule gets hairy and I need preplanning help. At this point, I know my CCs, figure my meals easy enough, and put in my PDA as reference.

Wow! Thanks everyone.

I'm gonna make a whole list with bullet points and give it to my friend!

Really excited to see if she's serious about this journey (I know not to push her, it's her own decision). I may actually have a real life weight loss buddy... besides all the wonderful people here, of course!

I really like http://www.fatsecret.com/ Stupid name, but decent site.

I stumbled upon it as a Blackberry app and now it also runs on my iPad and is capable of running on a host of other platforms including iPhone, iPod Touch Android and BlackBerry phones, Facebook, iGoogle etc.

Sparkpeople.com. I . used a couple for different things, but think Sparkpeople has it ALL for me! Great interaction, lots to do and check out. Great recipe calculator, incentives, etc.
Try it you'll like it. :goodvibes

I like caloriecount.about.com very much. It has great reports, articles and a database that hasn't let me down yet :)

And nutritiondata.self.com isn't very convenient for tracking calories, but has insanely detailed nutrition facts for different foods

i use ************.com

LOVE IT....tracks everything and excercise

I use my fitness pal.com (no space, the forum calls it a swear word for some reason) I really like it, especially the phone app.

My favorite used to be FitDay even though I remember it being a bit more 'primitive' than the other sites, I liked the simplicity it had. It's been a while so I'm not sure how much it might have changed, but it's cool to see that there are so many options now!
