Does anybody have a suggestion for a good, accurate, easy-to-use online calorie counter? I've tried a few and they are so tedious and largely inaccurate. Of course, they are the free ones. I prefer free but if I have to pay a little to get accurate information then I'm ok with that too!

Lose it! is good - i use it on the iphone
sparkpeople.com is really good.
The only issue anyone I know has had is that they forgot to adjust the serving sizes. One of my friends went to a Chinese buffet and didn't change the serving sizes from full meals to partial servings and it showed she consumed something like 20,009 calories in one meal.
Check out SparkPeople.com, it's free and a great tool.
calorieKing.com (totally helped me when I lost 17 lbs a while back). There is a portion you register to track weight loss, but you can skip this to just look up food items. That being said, I don't recommend using the computer to tally up everything. As you are able to memorize calories without looking them up, its simply faster to put it in a journal.
www.sparkpeople.com is awesome and easy
www.nutritiondata.com is great too, but a little more for the 'intensive' hard core nutrition-types
I second myfitnesspal.com! Love it!
