This app and website is a wonderful tool, as long as you take the time to learn how to use it properly, and as long as you want it bad enough to do that work, and learn things you might not want to hear. I would start with doing some reading in the forums from the stickied posts, buying a food scale (and weighing everything), and dig in.

I would recommend starting here:

Calorie Counting
