Might be interesting to compare how much exercise the posters in this thread are actually doing, their body composition and whether they pay any attention to diet or simply eat whatever they want.
Something like Training Peaks is very good for logging stuff- if you can be arsed, of course.
You either upload or enter your exercise via the website, and can get iPhone or Android applications that allow you to track what you've eaten.
The Performance Management Chart (PMC) allows you to see very easily how hard you've been working, and to a degree you can think "right, heavy weekend coming up, I should try to get out on the bike for four hours on Saturday morning, then a run Sunday afternoon".
This is going to probably mean not a lot, but you can see from mine where I went on holiday, and am now building back up to a decent sustained training load again:
Blue is sustained load, purple is daily load, yellow is training stress balance.
