I'm using Calories and Macros. I like the graphs and weight tracking portion but it's limited in food database.
 
Fatsecret is a good one as well. Huge food database.
 
myfitness pal, I use it on Iphone,
 
MFP. app and online. very easy to customize food, can add friends to see what they use or meals they like to deal with on a daily basis to get you ideas, and can customize recipes or save meals that you may use over and over again and then adjust the amounts. Saves a lot of time, and can copy meals from day to day.

Agree, it's a great app, I use it as well. You can adjust your cals/macros on the web (not on the phone) to fit your goals. The goals that MFP sets for you automatically aren't correct and are usually based on the RDA, which isn't even close to what it needs to be for athletes/strength folks. I use it mostly to just track protein macros and overall cals. The barcode scanner is great, as well.

this , except i dont follow their recommended macros (too little protein, too high of carbs, etc). I use the app to track my macros but I calculate my necessary macros for my fitness goals on my own
 
I use mynetdiarydiary pro (iOS).
What I like about it is the huge database and that portion size suggestions are in actual things that make sense to me and don't have me doing arithmetic all day.
