I'am firing Daily Plate - Livestrong
This site has a health tracker. I also have a spreadsheet that I created that I can pass to you, but I don't know how to attach to a message here. Message me with you email and I will forward it to you.
I tried using daily plate when I was on weigh****chers and I quickly got tired of it. Truthfully, I haven't found anything online that is to my liking.

I got a good calorie counting book and used spiral bound notebooks to record what I ate. Knowing the amount of calories I wanted as a limit, I could quickly see how I was doing by adding the calories during the day. I also kept track of my grams of protein. A good book would probably show calories, fat g, protein g, salt mg, sugar g, and possibly other nutritional info.
By keeping the notebooks, I could see calorie counts for individual meals I've had in the past. I got to learn from past successes and failures.
I admit that I got away from it during the summer, but it's just as easy to get back to it. While successfully dieting, I tried to stay between 1,600 and 1,800 cal per day--without exercise. I do believe you are better off not allowing additional calories for exercise until you are at or near goal.
Many of you know that I used to brag about my brother's long distance bicycle rides. The first charity ride he did for AIDS research went from Boston Common to Central Park in NYC over the course of 4 days. It involved a lot of hills. He was in great shape but thought he needed carbo loading. He gained 6 lbs over the course of that grueling ride.
During his ride accross the USA last summer, he packed jerky and energy bars and watched what he ate. I believe he did 3,600 miles in 54 days (he's a college prof). This year he gave up cycling and took up running. He'll be in a half marathon in Oct but he's going back to cycling next year since he's had a few injuries this year. By the way his doctor pointed out that he's better off with the cycling at his age of 56. Bob
