I use FITDAY.COM to track what I eat and how many calories I burn. It can be quite startling when you see just how much you're really eating in a day... yikes! (LOL). It's not a diet plan and does not offer any nutritional advice, but it's free! They have a pretty big database of food that you can browse through categories or search by name, or you can enter custom foods. It's a little time consuming, but as you build up your custom food list it goes a little faster. You can set your own nutritional and exercise goals and track your progress. I don't know whether something like this would be beneficial or harmful for someone with an eating disorder, but I personally found it to be a helpful tool for general weight loss and meeting nutritional goals.
