Default iPhone app for carb counting?

Finally made the leap to a smart phone - what iPhone app do you love for carb counting?

Thanks in advance!

I like "Go Meals" from Sanofi Aventis (makers of Lantus) and "Restaurant Nutrition" by Foundation HealthCare Network.
I think "Go Meals" is now available for Droid too.

I like Track 3 which you can get for both the IPhone or the Droid Phones.
The main reason I like it is that I can adjust the weight. Other websites I have tried will not allow me to do that. The weights or measurements are preset and there is no way to change them. For me that can be so frustrating not to be able to put in the actual weight and get the actual carb count.

I use Calorie Counter. It gives carbs, fat, protein, and calories. A huge database, and you can adjust the weight. It's free.

There are a bunch of apps in the store called Calorie Counter, do you know which one it is specifically?

Thanks!
