fitday.com is a great, free site for tracking food, calories and nutrients

What is nice is that they have a huge database but you can also input "custom" foods -- you just input the info on the label and add it to your database. It graphs everything for you every which way. So at the end of the day you can see how much sodium, calcium, etc. you are taking in, in addition to the usual tracking for fat, carbs, calories etc.

A good alternative for people who are interested in a Weight Watchers online type program but don't want to pay for a commercial diet program.

Excercise videos, sensible eating, huge database of articles on health, nutrition, and excercise, message boards, tracks any/all nutrients you want to track, and it's free.

And liked them a lot. But they had some kind of server difficulty that made them always time out on our slow satellite Internet connection at home, so I switched to fatsecret.com, which has many of the same features.
