just wondering what everyone tracks in their food diarys, because i would like some advice

i myself track calories, carbs, protein, fat, sugar and sodium

i was going to track fibre, because i know i'm low in it most days, but in order for me to do this i'd change it from sodium, however, i've found that doing this i dont take sodium into account and go way over it, wich would explain why i haven't really lost anything this week.

should i just stick with what i'm tracking with at the moment or should i just change the settings after each time i log something in to check and then change it back?

thanks! :flowerforyou:

    I track: calories / carbs / fat / protein / sodium / fibre

    Sodium is a big concern for me, and I don't have sugar on there because I don't really eat processed foods and I have limited or no refined sugars so that column doesn't tell me much.

    sodiums also a problem for me, but so is fibre and sugar,
    the only thing i've seemed to get right this week is carbs

    thanks for the input, i guess it'll just be trail and error for a little while or ignore fiber completely

    If you look at the bottom of your food diary page, you can click on the "view full report" button and it will show you all the categories plus your exercise calories.
