    Calories, Protein, Fat. I have fiber and carbs and...iron I think on my diary, but I don't actually pay any attention to them. As long as I'm around my goal, get 120-115 gram of protein, and 45-50 grams of fat a day everything else is 'meh' to me.

    1st - Protein
    2nd - Calories

    I don't pay attention to anything else, unless my fats for some reason are below 60g and I need to bump them up... But I usually eat enough meats that it isn't an issue.

    I used to be too concerned with calories and not concerned enough about protein. When I lost weight that way, I wasn't satisfied with the way I looked, I felt that I had lost too much muscle mass. This was when my proteins were about 80-100g a day... Now they are around 130-170g a day and I feel a bit more solid.

    Alcohol consumption and water consumption. Make sure I drink less red wine and more water. :-/

    Calories, sodium, carbs, and most importantly: sugar.

    I'm not worried about my protein intake since I know that I usually get to that goal every day quite easily. I never look at the fat content in my food unless there happens to be trans fats, then I put it back on the shelf and go NUH UH.

    For me its Calories, Carbs, Proteins and Fat. I also monitor fibre because I always suspected that I wasn't getting enough and monitor saturated fat to ensure that I am keeping this low.

    Saying that I do need to adjust my targets because I feel MFP sets carbs too high and protein too low.

    I will occasionally look to see what my sodium intake is like but don't generally use a lot of salt anyway

    Calories, carbs, water/sodium (if my sodium gets too high, I drink more than my water goal)

    This has evolved as I continue to get a handle on my nutritional habits. Due to some blood pressure concerns, I started out primarily concerned with lowering my salt intake, which led me to also closely track and increase my intake of potassium.

    Once I had those in line, I started to press more for high protein. That was good for awhile and really got me understanding different sources of protein.

    Now I'm concerned with saturated fat and cholesterol, because I eat an egg every morning and some kind of steak most evenings, and I noticed that those two nutrients were consistently over target.

    I also have been paying closer attention to fiber, since I can certainly tell when I'm not getting enough of that, lol.
