Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

Jim, Mike said it better than I might have. You have the general idea down quite well, actually.
Here are a couple of resources that are reputable and reliable:
http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/search/
http://www.fns.usda.gov/nutritionlink/
http://www.mypyramid.gov/
These are US Government sites and quite good.
