Can anyone recommend some good recipe sites that include nutritional information with the recipes? (Calories/fat, etc.)

AllRecipes does a good job most of the time.

Cooking Light is my cooking bible. To access most of their recipes you need to either subscribe or steal the monthly password off a newsstand copy. All their recipes have nutritional info, and the added bonus of being consistently healthy.

I've got a Crazy Plates cookbook.

These guys are great: easy, fast, good food. They give the nutritional info that you're looking for along with some neat food facts and obscure trivia.

Another Cooking Light devotee here.

Cooking Light again. Just remember, sometimes they underestimate the amount of broth/water/wet ingredient you will need. I think they don't cook with gas. :)

Take cooking-light a step further.... I bought Mastercook and think it's great...

It's recipe software -- you enter recipes and it calculates all the nutritional information for you. It also allows you to rescale recipes before printing them out (so if it's for 6 servings you can print out a 2 serving or 7 serving or whatever version). It also generates shopping lists, though I don't use that feature.

The edition I have is the Cooking Light Edition, so it also includes the complete archive of Cooking Light recipes already in there.

Anyway, the nice thing about it is that you can use it to get nutritional information for *any* recipe and if you have recipes that you like to make but that you'd like to cut back the calories/fat/carbs/whatever on, you can edit them (subsititute ingredients) and see how it changes the nutritional info.

Another vote for Cooking Light. And I love Allrecipes, too. I'm frequently frustrated by their "premier" recipes which require registration, but I love that the recipes are rated and reviewed.
