When I do it, I use http://www.sparkpeople.com/ to track my food intake. I am vegetarian (verging on vegan) and very "anti-Atkins" in my approach to food. Loads of fruit and veg and whole foods. Only problem is with portion sizes! (and chocolate if I let it!) The Spark thingy is quite a good tool. Only problem was that with my style of eating I was always over with the carbs and under with the protein and fat. So it was really only of use for tracking calories. Then I read it properly(!) and realised I could tweak the ratios to that more akin to "The China Study" by T. Colin Campbell recommendations. Now I've got a more accurate plan to work towards, helps me see if I am eating the way I feel is right for me. I'm ever so pleased.

I just wanted to thank you for coming by my blog and telling me about the bicycle forums at bikeforums.net. That looks really handy and I love the fact there is a forum just for larger folks like us!
On the eating, good work on figuring out your plan. I eat a lot of fruits and veggies as well, but I'm not a vegetarian. I don't think anything could pry me away from my fish and seafood! I have found that making sure I get enough protein has helped me. And tracking macros is invaluable!
