What website do you use to look up nutritional value on foods such as baked potatoes, fruits, veggies, and meats?

    Anyone??? I am just looking for a trustworthy site that I can look up food items that dont have nutrional facts on them. Any suggestions would be helpful.

    I use the database on MFP. Works great for me.

    Beside MFP, caloriecount.com or I just go to the manufacturer's or the brand's page.

    I use http://webprod3.hc-sc.gc.ca/cnf-fce/index-eng.jsp

    It's by Health Canada. I use it for cuts of meat, vegetables, fruits, etc. I used to trust the values on MFP, but I've found that many of them contain the wrong information and I'm not going to edit every entry I come across, nor do I want to weed through the hundreds of duplicate entries. I've built my own little database from the above website and by using the nutritional labels on the foods I buy.
