I would love to have a tool that would let me input ingredients of a recipe and individual food types and would calculate the blocks for me - does that exist? I'd even pay for a tool like that; especially for recipes.

Try Spark People - you can adjust the display to show the info you want: Protein, Fat, & Carbs are part of default. You add Fiber to display. But you have to then subtract fiber from carbs. Otherwise its all there.
You can see amounts for meal or for the day. And plenty of tools for tracking weekly and monthly reports. http://www.sparkpeopleDOTcom/

Ericka:

There is an app for the Iphone and Ipod available in Itunes Store that works just like that.... you input the ingredients and it will calculate the blocks for you. You may even store it on "your meals" or something like that.

I don´t know the cost for US... I am in Mexico but it wasn´t expensive, and it is worth it.
