I have reviewed the dietary/nutrition sites you posted that were referenced in the July Good Housekeeping magazine. Here are my findings:

eatright.org --lots of info, no personal tracking like what Surequest indicates they will have

dietitian.com --detailed questions and answers only

dietsite.com --good personalized site. You enter foods day by day --it tracks the content of what you have eaten and provides summaries and charts of carbs, fats, protein. The percentages are dependant on the category you fit in (sex, age, activity level). It stores your daily entries for future referencing, requiring a login.

dole5aday.com --just some question/answer stuff

mealsforyou.com --this is a great site. This is geared toward providing you a recipe for just about anything you want--number of servings, nutritional goals, special diets. It has powerful sorting capabilities to allow you to add or subtract new recipes according to what you goal is. For example if you want to prepare your shopping list for the next week and you have meals planned for 4 days and notice that you would like a high protein meal for the 5th day, it will give you recipes that are high in protein to choose from. Once you have created one or more recipes it will give you the nutritional content of each and in total AND will prepare a shopping list by category. This is a great site to help in the food preparation process. What it doesn't do (I think) is track your intake over time, so it is not really geared toward meeting personal goals over time. I didn't see a login feature. It is more geared toward choosing meals for the future. Still, an excellent site.

spectre.ag.uiuc.edu This is a very good site for analyzing nutrition in individual foods. You can choose the specific nutrients of most importance and it will list out foods with your criteria, and for your category of age and gender. It will display the nutritional info you choose on one or more foods you choose. It does not have a personalized feature (ie won't keep your prior entries beyond current connection to the site).

thriveonline.com This has a lot of stuff but I didn't see anything toward detailed personalization or detailed nutritional meal building.

That's it for now. When time permits I plan to check out the sites Surequest mentioned in its recent press releases also.
