Help finding information about food?

Question

Could anyone refer me to a web page that will give me info on what foods are the healthiest and why (specifically veggies) and also show info on what I should eat if I'm lacking something, (Iron for example)

Thank you!

Answer 1

I use this:

http://www.calorie-count.com/

Answer 2

two sites for you: http://www.mypyramid.gov and http://www.nutritiondata.com

mypyramid is the FDA food pyramid and gives you the "ideal" food plan for your age, height and weight.

nutritiondata gives you all the nutrients and nutrient counts of your food plan. You can put in recipes or menus or whatever you need to know and it lets you know what the values of it are.
