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?

    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.

    Fiber

    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.
