Me again! :-) I'm warming up to the idea of logging my workouts... but if we're really serious about our well-being, exercise is only a piece of the puzzle....Nutrition is the other key factor. It may be a tall order, but it would be great to be able to log my food intake along side my workouts and observations (blog-thoughts). (A double-bonus would be a system that also calculated calories, nutrient content (carbs, vitamins, minerals), and water intake. :-)
Thanks!

Having a food journal is definitley a good idea. And we have it on our list of things for the future.
We do support a couple features today that are "baby steps" toward what you're asking for. Here's what you can do in the system today.
- You can log your calories burned with each workout. - If you use a heart rate monitor or cycle/run computer that calculates this, you can enter the info from there into your workout log for each activity. We don't yet calculate an estimate based on your activity type, but we have that on our feature list for the future.
- You can also log your daily calories consumed in a "Day Info Record". - Day Info records are different from Activity records as they are intended to store stuff about the day. You can keep track of your sleep, resting heart rate, mood, and calorie intake there.

What about adding a forum for food/nutrition? I was ready to post some information on genetically modified foods, and realized there wasn't a forum for this topic. :)

I've used Calorie King in the past as a food journal (their database of food seems really quite comprehensive) and also hear that folks love FitDay. I'm sure you're weighing a 'build it' vs 'partner it' approach - if either of them have any partner programs I'd think they'd be among the most widely used.

and I definately agree with Robin that a nurtrition forum would be great - and a 'Lisa' for nutrition really swell! I constantly struggle with getting sufficient carbs to fuel long workouts without gaining weight and also have been doing some research into Alkaline vs Acid foods lately and would certainly love to have a discussion area to bounce thoughts around.
