    Vitamins and minerals have no calories, but too much can be just as bad as too few with certain ones. If your logging, MFP will show you your intake for some. Are they at least 75% most days? Then you're probably good.

    Which vitamins can you have too much of? I always go over on vitamin A and C, is this dangerous?

    It is very hard to get too many vitamins from food.

    100g of sweet potato has 283% of vitamin A so that alone takes me over on vitamin A

    That's just based on the recommended "at least" level. It's not like your body's capacity to handle the vitamin A caps out at 100%, I wouldn't worry.
