What Nutrients do you Track?

Calcium and Vit A. Seems silly, but for some reason my diet is always extremely low in these and I tryyyy to boost them, however, I hate eating a whole grapefruit every day. I think I'm just giving up and getting some flinstone vitamins.0

Even when I'm finished losing weight I'll keep using MFP just because it's absolutely invaluable for making sure I get all the minerals I need.
That's good. I still use MFP and so does my friend Shane on this site, who has lost quite a fair amount of weight
It's just really convenient to use such a remarkable website. I really think they've outdone themselves with having a free website, benefit people so much!0 -
I'm trying to track iron, but a lot of items don't have the iron content listed, so it's hard to get an accurate picture of my iron intake.0

Carbs, Fat, Protein, Sodium, Fiber.....
I wish it had room to track everything...0 -
I am currently tracking my sugar and trying to keep to about 30g a day.
I struggle to get my amounts properly managed each day (carb/fat/pro). Does anyone get all their amounts properly allocated? I need to find better solutions.
I plan on tracking more as time goes on. I'd like to learn more about my nutritional balance.0 -
Sugar, saturated fat, protein, sodium, potassium.0

I watch also watch fiber, and calcium. Very important!0

Companies are not required to list potassium on the labels -- I see a lot of people say they track that and they are always low --- but you're probably not as low as you think. You can't really go by most labels or database entries since they may not be accurate as far as potassium.
I track protein, carb, fat, sugar, sodium.
I think default MFP settings are way off so I changed mine to 40% protein, 30% carb, 30% fat and lowered sodium to 2000 -- working to get it under 1500 eventually.
I dont worry about calcium/iron/d/a etc since I take all of those in supplements and know I get more than enough.0 -

I actually was quite low, because I wasn't eating enough veggies/fruits.
Tracking potassium and fiber has actually significantly improved my consumption of veggies0
