MFP can be a good tool but the calorie tracking is only as accurate as what the users submit to it. The library on packaged goods is pretty accurate so if you type in 1 serving Cool Ranch doritos you're good, but putting together a home cooked meal it's a lot more effort to use and it's on you to be accurate regarding what's going into a recipe.
The thing I don't particularly like about it though is that it gives you "bonus" calories for exercise, which is a recipe for failure when hams self-report inaccurate exercise information.
