NutritionData.com

NutritionData.com ain’t pretty, but it sure is useful. If you’re trying to watch your consumption of a particular component of your diet—be it sodium, cholesterol, fat, or even things like theobromine or caffeine—NutritionData.com should be in your Bookmarks list.

Just type the name of the food in question into the search box to get an extensive list of nutrition facts. You’ll find just about everything in NutritionData.com’s database, including full nutritional data for many fast food products, if that’s your thing (of course, if you’re really interested in a healthy diet, you’re probably not eating much fast food anyway, but I digress).

The site also features advanced search tools that help you figure out which foods you should eat depending on your dietary needs. For example, say you’re on a low-sodium diet, but you want to find foods that are high in protein. Just make your selections in the Nutrient Search tool, and you’re good to go.

X = 9.2: probably the Web’s most complete source of nutritional data, although it could use a facelift.
