I used to use fitday.com when I have tracked my calories in the past. The database these days seems kind of pitiful and difficult to locate foods in. Do you guys swear by this one or is there something better? I hate to stop using it and switch after I have a couple week's info in it now, but geez!!! Any thoughts? I usually end up googling a food's nutritional stats and creating about 10 custom foods every time I do my day's food intake, so I've put some time in this. And I like the exercise database on it and tracking the time each day I workout.

I usually use calorie count for a calorie reference and used to have an account on there to log my food intake/exercise. I liked it a lot, I just found a notepad as easy.

When I calorie counted I loved sparkpeople.com They have a really fantastic database from what I remember!

I use mydailyplate.com, part of the Livestrong site, to track my calories and exercise. There have been very few things that I haven't been able to find in their database, plus they have a smartphone app, if you're so inclined.

I use to use fatsecret but a friend told me about myfitnesspal. I like it so much better.

myfitnesspal has an amazingly huge database. It even has most store brand stuff, and even some recipes I like from skinnytaste.com. Love.it.

If you have a smartphone, MFP's free app has a barcode scanner, too, so you don't even have to search for some foods -- just scan them!

Great ideas, ladies, thank you!!! Do any of these sites have fitness trackers, too?

I use Nutrition Data. http://nutritiondata.self.com/

I use fitday too, and really like it. I create ALOT of custom foods and use the 'recent foods' for almost EVERYTHING, so i'm at the point where i rarely have to create a new custom food.

[KerriLeah]

Then sounds like I'm doing things the same way. I don't mind doing custom foods, then at least when I enter info off of my labels, I know it's accurate.

I used to use myfitnesspal.com as an app on my phone, but now I am using Livestrong.com. I like it so much more! I can track almost everything I eat as well as my fitness. You should really check it out

I love myfitnesspal. You can track fitness and it has an amazing database of foods and exercises.

I use the Lose It app. They have a website to go along with it, but I haven't really gotten into that. I've been using the app for 4 weeks and I've lost 5 pounds, so I'm really liking it so far.
