    Protein, Carbs, Fat, Calories.


    I would say that pretty much everyone should track the above. The rest would depend on individual needs.

    These plus Fiber

    I do it for several reasons. First I think it was so surprising of how much I was eating...healthy food but still too much of it. also I was just diagnosed with diverticulitis and so I want to monitor what I eat to see what I was eating in case I have another episode. Finally it slows everything down. It makes me think about what I am about to eat and is it worth it or is it what I really want. I am much more conscience about what I am eating and why!

    Btw, this has come up often this week and I've started paying more attention to labels. Most nutrition labels don't include potassium so that it isn't included in the MFP database for many foods.
