My wife found this interesting website that tracks caloric intake (food, liquids, etc.) and expenditure (activity, exercise, etc) and tracks it over time. For the caloric intake, it breaks it down into fat, protein, and carbohydrate grams. It appears to have a large library or database of commonly eaten foods as well. It gives you guidance on your target calorie intake and customizes it to your weight loss goals.

Overall it looks like a free (ad-driven) website that mimics something that Weight Watchers would do (not familiar with their website).
