Rick- It sounds to me as though you need three programs, not one, to track the functions listed below. Biking and running: time and distance Food intake- calories in and estimated calories burned. Body weigh, BMI, etc.
You might start by using Microsoft Excel, and see how that works. Excel is quite flexible, and not just suited for money transactions.

Additionally, I would need it to keep track of moderate weight training, with focus on individual muscles/muscle groups so that I could keep track of reps, sets, and weight. Add in the ability to keep track of body weight, BMI, etc. and the ability to graph my progress (or regression as the case may be) for each exercise, all with a nice Mac-like interface and at a reasonable price, and I'd buy it in an instant. (bonus points if you can keep track of daily caloric intake) Anyone know of a program that would fit this bill, that perhaps I have over looked?
