One of the best ways to keep a log of your food is with LoseIT on the ipod touch. It works wonders. I have lost 30lbs in 3 months. When I lost that much I stopped using the LoseIT program and tried to eat good by myself and I have been unable to lose anymore. It is amazing how good that program works and you can easily track your food and calorie intake.
Try it!

I don't know if LoseIT has a vitamin tracking feature, but Fitday and a couple others keep track of your vitamin intake. Its important to watch not only what you eat by monitoring calories and macros, but also monitoring your vitamin intake and making sure you're getting the required levels.
I always say if you RDA is 200, you can easily go 25% higher than that.
Vitamin D for example is something a lot of people lack because of our lifestyles these days. I took 10,000UI for 3 months, and am now taking 5,000UI every single day. Thats 5-10x more than what is suggested and I have never felt any side effects.
