Food Diary and Calorie Tracker by MyNetDiary HD
This pricey, but incredibly feature-rich app allows you to track just about every aspect of your health. Far more than a food diary, you get a diet planner, recipes, and detailed nutrition database. Track your exercise, body measurement, blood pressure, sleep, daily steps, water intake, vitamins/medications, and more. You get access to an online community supported by a registered dietician. Your health journal gets synced between your iPad, computer, and even your iPhone if you wish.
Calorie Counter & Diet Tracker by MyFitnessPal
This simplistic app makes calorie counting fast and easy. Its food database is one of the largest out there with just over two million entries. It even comes with a barcode scanner so that you can easily find foods while you're preparing them. The recipe calculator is a unique feature that allows you to enter your own recipes to calculate the nutritional contents. Aside from being a calorie counter, this app also includes a database of exercises, a goals tracker, reports, and a way to connect with friends.

Lose It! was also listed as one of the best calorie counting apps on our iPhone AppGuide. Guess what? It's also one of the best apps offered in this category for the iPad. The user interface is simple, stunning, and flows effortlessly. Choose from the foods already in the database, add your own food, or add your own recipe. If you get tired of typing in the food names, simply select the barcode scanner and scan your snack (assuming it has a barcode).

This app doesn't technically keep track of your calories, but if you're looking for a fast way to check calories then look no more. The CalorieKing Food Database is deemed America's most reliable and contains over 70,000 foods. It even includes over 200 fast food chains and restaurants. In addition to providing you with calorie information, it also lists specific details such as the amounts of protein, fiber, saturated fat, trans fat, cholesterol, sodium, and alcohol in each food item.

Cravings is another calorie counting app that does its job with an additional goal of helping you keep your cravings at bay. While it isn't one of the prettiest apps in this category, it does what it is supposed to do.
GoMealsHD
This free app is actually like three apps in one: a nutrition database, a food tracker to record your daily meals, and a restaurant locator.

The nutrition database is powered by CalorieKing, and it includes nutrition information from all the major restaurant chains as well as most foods found in grocery stores.
