    I track my sodium carefully. That's my number one.
    I keep an eye on my fiber and protein intake.
    After that, I note fat intake and will adjust food accordingly, sometimes.
    The rest of it I don't care as much about.

    Excess sodium could cause water retention so it is important to track it

    I don't track sugar. I track sodium, because I don't get enough and if I am still under 500mg in the late afternoon I need to bring out the pretzels. I also track fiber :smile:

    I track fiber and potassium instead of sugar and sodium.

    I'm not really worried about water retention as it won't stop me from losing fat.

    I track: Calories, Carbs, Fat, Protein, Sodium & Fiber.

    My big 3 I actually pay attention to are Cals, Protein & Fiber
