Sport Phone Trackers/General advice

Hi everyone, I'm 24 years old, 5'10" 175 (BMI ~25) and have never taken very good care of myself from a nutritional standpoint. Over the past couple years I've had "Oh cr*p" moments where I decided to make some modest changes to my diet, limiting fast food, taking a multivitamin, trying to eat more vegetables, that kind of thing. Lately I've been wanting to improve my diet even more, so I've been finally learning to read labels, RDIs, etc, and so far here's what I've found:

I actually eat fairly normally. I'm within most of the RDIs on a daily basis except for sodium, where I think I actually consume 2-2.5 times as much per day as recommended (comes from some processed foods, and I usually have a snack in the evening that consists of several olives, a cheese stick, a pepper, and a slice of cured ham, and I always put salt on my sandwiches). This startled me pretty bad, because about a year ago I quit smoking and my family has a history of high blood pressure (in later years, but better to recognize this now)

My GF and I have an elliptical, and so I've started working out on that and I know a body builder who's going to help me get started with some dumbbell workouts because I also have very little muscle and I want to replace the fat with muscle. (I'm comfortable with my weight, I just want it to be good weight, not flab)

So my question is this: does anyone know of a food log app for an android phone that keeps track of ALL the nutritional information on a label? I know enough to make healthy choices overall, but I really need to be more detail oriented with the sodium and sugar intake. I've heard of one called "Calorie Counter," but it doesn't specify if it logs all the label's information or just whats of interest to calorie counting people, and if you have general advice overall about my situation I'd love to hear it!
 
Moderate amounts of high quality protein at each meal is good for you. High fiber intake to help appetite control and glycemic control (maintaining more balanced blood sugar). And Don't neglect healthy fat intake from nuts, seeds, organic eggs, wild fish or fish oil, virgin coconut oil and olive oils, avocados, etc (helps appetite control and hormonal balance).
Once you gain control over the aspects listed above, everything else usually works itself out in your diet... you no longer crave sweets or junk food because your body finally has all of the nutrients it needs. Another important thing that this style of eating does is that it tends to bring people naturally back to the proper amount of calories they need each day without having to attempt to count calories or anything like that.
I almost forgot, you can use Ab Workouts Free on the app store!
 
I believe myfitnesspal has something that tracks some nutritional information. I don't think it's the complete label but you can input everything. I believe calorie count is the same way.
