What are you using for calculating and Tracking Macro's
My fitness pal is great. Even if you just want to make sure you hit a daily protein target but it's also awesome if you're trying to calorie restrict

If you are tracking micros, you either do it properly or you don't do it at all. There is no "easy" way to track macros, at least, not accurately.
Just plug in your food you want to check into the calorie king database.

Maybe "easy" wasn't the right way to put it, I really just wanted to get a handle on the breakdown of my current diet with regards to calories, carbs, fats and protein. I have a very consistent diet each day so it shouldn't change too much day to day. I am training for strength right now and plan to make small adjustments to the diet based on progress, I am not trying to get back the Abs I bnever had ;-).
Thanks everyone that App looks like it might do the trick.

I tried My Fitness Pal and found Calorie King a nicer website to use. No mobile app, but I'm not that obsessed and it's probably a good thing I can't log everything into my phone and waste time.

I log a few days worth of eating into Calorie King, get an average, and then make adjustments where needed. Then I just eyeball my food. Having an extra 10-20g of chicken or rice isn't going to do anything. All the shitty food in between is what will ruin your macros.

My scales go to 6 decimal places.
On myfitnesspal you can use the mobile ap to scan barcodes to import food into your daily intake. So awesome.

My fitnesspal is easily the best option available. Most foods are in there, and if they are not its super easy to add then to the database. Membership is free, though there is a premium option but i doubt most people would ever need that.
In saying most foods are in there...i havnt had to add a food to the database in about 2 years.

Yeah I intentionally don't use MFP for that reason. I'm already obsessed enough with tracking food. That would totally control my life.
I would say incorrect entries are a lot less prevalent than that.
Just double check before you use one in MFP. There is usually an entry that has been copied from calorie king in MFP. Once it's in your frequent foods you are set.
