What do you track?

In my diary I track carbs, fat, protein, fiber and sodium (and calories of course). I almost always stay under my carbs, fat and sodium and go over my protein and fiber. In another thread someone said they had better success when they started to track sugar. I changed my sodium to sugar to see how I'm doing on that and was shocked to see I was over every day! So I'm thinking I'm going to swap one of the others out for sugar...but which one? Thoughts? Suggestions?

    Going over on your protein and fiber I think is pretty okay. Almost every day I go over, I think the limits for protein on MFP are a little light.

    I don't track fiber at all but I recently added sugar and sodium to my list to track. However, fruit has a lot of sugar in it naturally and may cause you to go "over" if you eat a lot of it - which is awesome to do, but I wouldn't really call it "going over".
