OK, first of all... freaking wow. I'm very impressed with this application and am looking forward to understanding it more. Trust me, any criticisms below are strictly constructive. Since I only started using this earlier in the day... I thought you may appreciate a newcomers view on a few things.
Help... The help system can use a great deal of improvement. A matter of fact, it is barely there.
Dietary Suggestions... I think a dietary suggestions page would be VERY helpful. For instance, it should tell you what you have calculated the basal metabolic rate is, suggested protein, carbs, yadda, yadda, yadda. A vitamins and minerals section would be pretty cool as well.
Weight Loss... I would imagine many of the folks in here need to lose a few pounds as well as track their fitness information. How about some suggestions on how many caleries under caleries expended a person should be targeting for a 1lb, 5lb, etc loss. Also, if someone is in "Weight Loss Mode", show the target in the metrics and calories in/out graphs.
Workouts... This area looks like it could use several changes.
* Strength - Let me change the sets, weights and durations for an exercise in a workout once it has been added.
* Strength - Allow us to reorder the exercises once a workout is defined.
* Strength - Allow the grouping of exercises for super sets and compound super sets.
* Strength - Allow the ability to add 1 or two pictures to an exercise.
* Strength - Allow us to print a workout (with thumbnails images) to take to the gym with us. Put a couple of blank entries in there in the event our weights go up. That way we can take notes and bring them back easily.
* Strength - Allow folks to flag a workout as public and share with others on the site.
* Cardio - Give us a spot for a URL link so we can link back to motion based or garmin connect. How slick to simply click and get the details of our run.
* Cardio - A calculation of the calories used would be awesome. Give the ability to easily edit it though.
Nutrition...
* Allow some favorite foods to be flagged and very easily accessible and with one click added.
* Vitamins and minerals should be included somehow.
* Water consumption as some check boxes would be great. Check them off as you go through the day.
* When a custom meal is added to the log, don't break it out. Simply display it as the meal title and allow it to be expanded if we want to see the details.
Mobility... I would like to see the RSS as someone else mentioned. That is brilliant. Also, how about an iGoogle gadget so we can easily have some of the graphs available in iGoogle. Finally, a small and simple page that can be accessed via a mobile phone to add to the nutrition log and exercise logs.
If some of this is available, please forgive me for posting it... however, I suppose it is still valid as a user on day 1. 
Thanks again for the brilliant app!!!

Hi! Thanks for your suggestions. All of them are quite good and I'll add them to the list for future implementation.
