Should I track sugar or fiber?
I was wondering because it doesn't seem like sugar is very important in weight loss, or am I wrong? Or should I track something entirely different? I want to continue tracking fat, sodium, carbs, and protein though.

And a pepsi from the vending machine to go with it. I'll handle the calories. And I know I'm sort of sabotaging myself with that meal.…

For me, exercise is the key
I'm fairly new to MFP and quantitative life tracking in general. I've noticed a definite, repeatable trend in my progress up to this point. If I eat my calorie goal, but don't do any exercise, then I maintain, or lose a tiny amount of weight. If I do a little exercise, even if it is just walking my steps and stairs on…
