MFP Goals - what do you track?

388gigi

Hi There,

Just curious as to what NRoLfW followers track in terms of food goals in MFP? Did you change what you track as to what the book sees as important?

I am currently tracking:

Fat
Protein
Carbs
Sugar
Sodium

Thinking maybe I should change this, but not sure what to. Any ideas?

I am tracking

Calories
Fat
PROTEIN
Carbs
Sodium

I usually don't have a problem with sugars -most of mine is from milk and fruits. I have been concentrating very heavily on protein (I am only in week 3) as I was not eating nearly enough.

I'm thinking of switching out fat for Iron though. I'm pretty much always good on the fat but I rarely reach my goal for Iron. I don't really see sugar as all that important as long as it's from healthy sources and you are within your calorie goal.

Also focusing more on protein than I ever did before.

I track calories, carbs, protein, fat, fiber and sodium. It's what I've always tracked since I've been on MFP so it didn't change when i started NROL.

I track:

Carbs (45% of total calories)
Fat (25% of total calories)
Protein (30% of total calories)
Sodium (goal set to 2,000mg)
Fiber (goal set to 30g)

Carbs, fat, protein, fiber, calcium

I have it set to 40/30/30 also so my ratios are in kine with the book.
