nutrient opinion

cppeace

In the tracking which would you consider more important for me track fiber, calcium or iron intake?
I'm tracking sodium with my carbs, fat and protien.
I take a good calciam citrate supplement and vit. D along with daily vit.
I'm thinking iron is more important of the three...
Opinions?
Thanks,
Kimmy

if you have been under iron in your blood test i would defo go with iron

Do you have any medical issues that would make tracking any of these more important than any of the others. On a special diet where you need to hit a certain amount of any of these per day?

I'd choose fiber.

cppeace

no I have no medical issues and Im on a primarily vegetarian diet. Trying to currently balance it better than currently is.

Page two (the printable version) of your Food Diary tracks these nutrients by default:



Calories

Carbs

Fat

Protein

Cholest

Sodium

Sugars

Fiber

So it would make sense to use page one to track other stuff. At least that's what I do.

Yeah......The only thing you can't take off is Calories on page one. It stays always.

thanks so much

Thanks cmriverside,
That is a nice option that a lot of us have overlooked.
Thanks for pointing it out

I'd add sugar instead

At first I was going to say fiber, but then I saw you are vegetarian so now I pick iron. But sugar is good to track too.

Just remember that a lot of the information in the database doesnt hold all those macro-nutrients, so if you're aiming to use this to check how much iron or calcium you're intaking in, it may not be the most reliable means.

As you're taking a multivitamin, calcium, and D, your calcium and iron are taken care of. Fiber would be the one to focus on.

I agree with melanie and ann...
