I do sodium and calcium. I have issues getting enough calcium so it is helpful.0

I added sodium and fibre, although I dont pay as much attention to my nutrients as i should do...0

Sugar - but it's very easy to go over if you eat fruit, so you need to bear that in mind when interpreting the results.
I did track sodium for a while, but found I was always under, so it's not a big issue for me. I changed it to calcium as I'd like to make sure I'm getting enough calcium at my age - but a lot of foods in the database dont have ALL the nutrition filled in, so I know that the figures I'm tracking particularly on Ca aren't that accurate.0 -
well looks like sugar is a definite winner. ty0
-
I track potassium simply because I know my sodium will always be somewhat high... so I make sure I get enough potassium to counter-balance it.0

It varies according to need. I track sodium and sugar. I eat plenty of fruit and don't seem to go over to often now that I've gotten the hang of it.0

I also track fiber0
