Most people are low in magnesium. I would like to track my magnesium intake but unfortunately it is not currently available on the list of nutrients to track. I would love it if MFP added that to the list! Thank you!

    Is there another program that tracks more nutrients, vitamins and minerals? Just paid for premium and I am disappointed at the few nutrients that are tracked. Thanks

    The trouble is that MFP basically tracks what's on nutrition labels, and magnesium isn't.

    Our team is looking at adding native support for tracking additional vitamins/minerals, as well as supplements, or medications. In the meantime, many users use the Notes area to record these additional items.

    As an alternative, you can create a new Meal category called "Vitamins and Supplements". You can then create a custom food entry in the food database to represent your vitamin or supplement, and log this item to your diary when you consume it.

    Hope that can help in the meantime!
