I have been using the My Fitness Pal iphone app to track my calories. It’s easier to keep track of the calories I consume (very much like how a mechanic does tracking of his current toyota parts) and its database is very extensive – yes, even local food dishes are there (laing, Monde mamon and everything else).

You can add you water consumption and exercises too – cardiovascular and strength.
Your screen will look like this:

I need to keep my calories at 1380 calories or under to be able to lose two pounds a day. Bad news – I still go over 200-300 calories a day, even with exercising. I need to find ways to cut down or replace meals (I think the snacks are the culprit).
