Nutrition Tracker that's NOT an app?

Hullo all! I'm newly pregnant after several months of trying, so I'm very enthusiastic about being as healthy as I can for my baby! In the past, I've always used SparkPeople to keep track of my nutrition, and I love the format... but their companion for pregnancy, BabyFit, is just terrible. I've tried just continuing to use SparkPeople while adjusting for pregnancy, but I feel like I get distracted by changing all the numbers and such.

Does anyone know of a good online Nutrition Tracker I can use that's either intended for pregnancy, or is a very basic tracker? I've seen lots of suggestions for apps, but I don't have a smartphone or anything... I just want to have a log on my computer.

Any suggestions, or am I being too particular?

    I use  Lose It! app for ipod. I also have used sparkpeople for tracking for the past year. I hear you it is frustrating that they don't have an option for pregnancy on the tracker there. I have not really researched other trackers, but Lose It is convenient for me. I just looked up pregnant calorie calculator to find a good goal range and I have set my goals for maintenance., That way it doesn't change the range when I up my weight.
    I don't know about babyfit, I will def. look into that.
    Thanks

    ETA: sorry I just re-read the title, good news is that lose it has a website. goodluck!

    you tell it your basic bodily stats and whether you're pregnant and it will auto-populate recommendations for you.  If you follow a particular eating style you can even tell it what % you want protein/carbs/fat to be dispersed into.
    it will also show you ALL the vitamins and minerals if you want it to, or turn it off if it's overwhelming. 
    the website is free, app is $5.  I much prefer the website for tracking.  
    you can enter exercise/weight/glucose/measurements too, if you want.
