OK…so I am going to really start tracking my intake… not something I have done well at over the last 38 years. 
I have looked at thedailyplate and fitday.com and was wondering if there are any apps as good as these for the iPhone? I know, I am a dork, but it would let me log things while I have down time in a meeting or at the airport, etc… Unfortunately work still runs my life.
Thanks for any help.

Google?
search for “lose it” in the apps. Best of all of them and free!

Food IQ.
There’s a liveStrong calorie counter for the iPhone, not sure if it comes with a food log though
Fitday is horribly inaccurate for a lot of foods.

I agree. I use it, but I manually enter everything as a custom food. It’s a little bit of a pain getting started, but once you have evertyhing in there it’s pretty quick. I haven’t really found any tracking web site to really be very accurate.
Is thedailyplate.com better and/or more accurate than fitday.com?
Not sure any iphone app will have all I want on it like these sites do.

i just DLed this today. Great app, though it only accounts for weight loss, but no biggie.
I’m curious to see what my daily totals are, haven’t done fat, carbs, protein in a while
Thus why it’s important for me to track calories. I still didn’t meet my caloric goal cause I got lazy later on.
3800 cals
172g Fat 40%
331g Carbs 34%
257g Protein 26%

In my experience no. One of the other problems is they have a set serving size. When I enter in all my meats, etc. I put them in as 1 oz. incremements so that I can just add or take away depending on what I need for the day.

So do you use fitday.com and just create custom foods for everything you eat? I have been playing with thedailyplate.com, and just can’t get it to do what I want. If you make custom foods in fitday, it seems like a bunch of work at first, but gets easier and easier as you get all your foods in there. Is that what you do?

Yeah I make custom foods for everything make the serving size for everything like 1 oz. for my meats and say 1 serving size of whatever the package says is a serving size, and then I can just raise or lower according to my macro allotment. Now that I have everything in there, I only occasionally have to create a custom food if I add something new to my diet. The only thing I don’t track is my green veggies, as my coach does not require me to.
