I'm looking at starting a daily food journal, religiously recording everything I eat. The goal being to control my calorie intake, as well as giving me some nutrition feedback. I know there are a number of web sites where you can keep a journal online. But I'd like to find one ASAP so that I don't have to try several out until I find one that works for me.
What I'll do is keep a small notepad into which I record everything by hand. Then transfer that into the journal each day, or possibly throughout the day if I want to closely control that day's calorie count. The journal would ideally have calorie counts for common foods and let me use whatever weighing method (grams or ounces) is convenient. Also, I'd really like it to have a way for me to figure out calorie counts for a recipe (say a chile or meatloaf) and then later let me portion that out. For example, say I make a casserole on Monday and on Wednesday I have a 300 gram portion of it.
Thanks.
