Dried Reindeer hearts and albatross. Be careful not to invest too much money in a flooded market. Stick with original ideas that are loaded with iron.

.....so train tracks would work?

Seriously, for me I would like to see a way to identify not only calories in the food but the amount (grams) of protien, carbs and fat in a certain portion, say based on weight?

Personally, I would like to see a site that counts fat/carbs/protein easier - I find it a pain to log ingredients in to the n'th degree. For example - If I had a piece of pizza I would like to just put in that I had one slice and approx weight - maybe the meat and veggies that were on the pizza. Every program I have seen to date when I have something like pizza I have to break out the bread/cheese/each topping/tomatoe sauce and then for each one of those the exact weight. All that would be nice but I don't have the time. Plus, when I buy anything that is pre-made like pizza or a deli sandwitch, I don't know the weight of each item.

All that said, give me something that takes less than 2 minutes to put the data in each day even if it only gives me approximate info on my carbs/protein & fat intake. That is what will make the biggest impact for me during training and race season. I know my calories are going up or down by my weight increase/decrease so I don't really find counting them overly useful.

The "counting software" would be really really nice and useful....for me it will safe me a lot of time...and headache...I suck in Mathematics so people like me would really enjoy a good Nutritional calculator...
Also...this might sound kind of cheesy...but a good section on recepies would be really nice....ust to make our diets less monotonous....

My wife uses www.calorieking.com quite religously and it works well.

Yeah, I would use something that is approximate, but still gives details of protein, carbs, fat, calories, sodium e.t.c. I don't want to be looking having to enter 53g of cheese or anything. Like CAcycling said......I want to select pepperoni pizza (2 slices).
