The USDA database is a good place to start. You can search for a food and enter an amount in various ways to get the nutrition info (carbs, calories, fat, protein, vitamins etc).

Calorie King is also good but I think they pretty much use the same USDA databse. The info is presented in a less confusing format, though.
