[MENTION=61571]Spoonrobot[/MENTION], MyFinessPal is working very well for me.

It has an amazing database of commercially available foods and tracks calories, sodium, carbs, protein, etc. Just looking at the foods consumed is an eye opener. It helps make informed decisions about what to eat and what should not be eaten.

MFP establishes basic daily consumption guidelines based on your current weight, level of activity and weight loss goal. If you add your exercises or sync with Training Peaks for example, it will "Allow" you more calories on the day you exercise.

I use the daily calorie goals as a guideline only and listen to my body. It says I can eat 2250 calories on days I don't exercise. Eating below 1600 calories is brutal for me but I am comfortable with 1800 to 2000 calories. On days I exercise it says I can eat 3500 calories but I keep it down to 2200 to 2500, depending on how long the ride is and how I feel after.

Dec 14 is was 198.6 lb and today I am 190.0 lb.
