 I know this has been talked about before but I still have not figured out how to search.
My Nut wants me to document my meals so I trying to find a site that I can log stuff and print it out when needed. 

Any help?

I personally like daily plate. there is a huge data base of foods. And things that I make at home, I can put in the info and save to food so it's easy to log in the future.

but there are others.....

When life hands you lemons, ask for tequila & salt and give me a call!

I like My Fitness Pal.  My tracker is from that site.

I second Jo on Dailyplate.com.   I use it to track everything; protein, calories, fat, sugar, salt, etc.  It also has a weight tracker program too.  I print out a few days of my intake logs and take them to my follow up apptointments with my surgeon and NUT.  It gives them lots of info.

I use fitday.com

I love it, it is so simple to use.  I never thought in my lifetime that I would track my food.

I use thedailyplate.com.  Its easy, you can build your own meals and save them.  I am religious with tracking.

I used to use www.livestrong.com/dailyplate  (where The Daily Plate moved when it was acquired by the Livestrong Foundation).  But I really like SparkPeople (www.sparkpeople.com) so that's what I'm using now. 

Reasons:  Easier access, including mobile phone access to input and look up foods, ability to calculate RECIPES (yay!), tracking of fitness activities, all in the same easy interface.

But the key is to experiment until you find one that fits YOUR lifestyle.  Journaling is absolutely critical for me (and for most of us) in staying on track and re-educating myself about what I'm eating.  There are too many times I think something is "healthy" until I look it up and view it in context of what else I'm eating on that day.  It was a tough habit to get into at first, but now it's second nature.

I find that a good old fashion notebook works for me. this way you can write it down as you eat and don"t have to try and remeber everything.
