calorieking.com and fitday.com are both good sites that will allow you to enter food in grams. Some things to remember: for fruit like bananas, grapefruit, oranges, weigh it AFTER you peel it or remove the skin. Calorieking will say "edible portion". I tend to OCD things, so if I weigh my apple and it is 120 grams, I will eat it and then reweigh the core and subtract that amount! Also, if you buy chicken raw, I think (someone help me here if I am wrong) then you weigh it raw because the values they give you on the package are for the raw weight. Of course, calorieking and fitday both have raw and cooked chicken weights. It can get tedious, but also fun. If I eat cottage cheese, if I am feeling lazy, I will put the container on the scale and weigh it, then I eat what I want out of it, then reweigh to see how much I ate. It definitely keeps me from eating too much of things if I know I am gonna be accountable.
Hope this helps and not confuses you.
