what all does your daily food journal include???

RuchikaPal

My food diary in MFP shows my Calories Carbs Fat Protein Sugar Cholestrol......

i think these are imp things which i should check and calculate daily......

but you think i should replace or may be add a few more categories to this?? how about trans fat or saturated fats??? etc...??? or this is more than enuf?

Mine includes the automatic calores, carbs, fat, and protein, and then I added in fiber and calcium so I can make sure I'm getting enough of those. Those are the main things I'm interested in right now. I think it really depends upon the individual person - you might be more interested in something I'm not that worried about, ykwim?

Calories, carbs, sugar, sodium, fat, and fiber. I think. Maybe. calories, sugar, and sodium are what I watch most.

I'd add fiber and sodium,

Mine has the basics, calories, carbs, protein, fat and I track iron intake because I am anemic. I helped my husband set his up so he could track sodium intake on his because he has blood pressure issues. That is what is so great about this site, you can personalize it to your specific needs.

I also added Fibre and Sodium.

i added sodium and sugar, they are the ones i have the most issues with. but on the phone app i can see every single nutrient, which is really nice.

I would say track what you, personally, need to keep an eye on. I don't track sugar, sodium or cholesterol because I alrrady know I don't eat much of those things. I track:

saturated fat - to make sure I don't get much
calcium, carbs, and iron - because I tend to be under a lot
protein - because I tend to be over almost daily

I think if you list too many its hard to keep track so I only added fiber.
