Keeping a food journal

I've used MyFitnessPal in the past with great success, and I'm back to using it. I don't really like the site layout (it looks exactly the same as it did in 2011 when I last used it, which isn't REALLY a good thing) and I think that Livestrong's MyPlate is way more attractive and intuitive. I'm also not a fan that apparently in order to check my macros with the mobile app, I have to have a Premium account (but apparently I can check this on the phone with no problem?).That being said, I sorta feel "stuck" with MFP as it has the biggest food database and the most people using it (though I'm not too big on the social aspect of it, tbh). Although, I would like to wring the necks of whoever the people are who add new listings for food already in the database; it drives the data-oriented part of me mad and it's just a pain in the butt. There's no reason for 8 different entries for the same low-sugar ketchup! You guys are nuts!

Er, I meant that I can check the macros on the website with no problem! Why in the world I can't check them on the app makes no sense. I can just visit the site in my browser on my phone, like DUH!

On the iPhone, turning my phone sideways shows me te macros for individual entries, and under nutrition at the bottom it shows where I am percentage wise for the day. It does try to sell premium to see foods highest in each macro, but the turning the phone side ways tells me that really.
