Here's another one: SparkPeople.com.It's much more complex than FitDay.com, to be sure. Perhaps even too complex. At times the site is so overloaded it's a little hard to navigate.
SparkPeople will give you full-day menus (and even generate the shoppings lists) to help you meet your weight-loss goals. It tracks the calories in and calories burned. You can set all kinds of daily, weekly and monthly goals and have them tracked automatically. The food database is huge -- that makes it easy to input your food diary each day.
The site has a huge library of articles about fitness and nutrition. You can join "teams" and trade messages with other members.
Not a big fan of the report generator. More often than not, it doesn't create the graphs you've requested... just a big, blank space where a graphic should be. And the pages are so overloaded the site is difficult to navigate. (Have I said that already?) The "MySpark" page it creates for you is full of "friends" and "Sparkles" and worthless information. The FitDay pages have your food diary, your activities for the day and a chart of your weight. On Spark, all that information is buried on a secondary page.
I am trying SparkPeople and FitDay side-by-side. Comparing them. Trying to decide which I prefer using.
So far, I'm leaning seriously in the direction of FitDay.

I looked at the other site... I didn't really like it. I am sticking with FitDay. Its simple enough to keep a basic track about what I want to achieve. I want it for general knowledge, not to be a nazi about every single little aspect of it. I will leave that to Zack. LoL
