DietPower is a good one - you can try it for free and then can

purchase a key to keep it: http://www.dietpower.com/

Has a few more perks than FitDay, plus you can customize it more.

I think the one at CalorieKing is linked to the USDA database - have a

look: http://www.calorieking.com/software/

I have often just kept a random written food journal or a list of

foods in a computer doc - if you are just wanting to know calories and

basic protein/carbs/fats its easy to do as just about all your foods

have nutritional labels these days. Anything else you can look up at

the CaloriKing website above or at one of these sites:

An easy ABC list of common foods:

Or another searchable database: http://www.nutri-facts.com/index.php
