Tracking - What do you keep a strict eye on?

I keep an eye on sodium because there is a history of high-blood pressure in my family. Am I strict - maybe not, but I've been working on keeping it down.
I try to hit my macro targets (carb, pro, fat) I'm not perfect on them, but I'm getting better at it.0 -
My net carb intake (natural sugars allowed) then protein. I struggle with anemia so I have to meet my protein goals. As long as those two primaries are met, I'm good on everything else.0

If you're interested, here is a good article ( one of many ) on the sodium/potassium partnership.0 -
Calories and carbs. Doctor's orders due to my diabetes!0

I watch the calories to make sure they end up somewhere close to 1200 min.
Otherwise i'd probably not be here..

1. Carbs and sugar (keep carbs around 50; sugar around 25) - easy enough to do when you're only eating "real" food.
2. Protein (try to reach 50g each day)
3. Calories (I'm having a hard time meeting my 1300 - 1500 goal because I'm only eating real food. I'm eating all day and completely satisfied, but barely reaching the low end, if at all.)
If I let sugar and carbs get any higher (or start indulging in refined), I start having cravings for both. My carbs come mostly from veggies (avocados, brocolli, etc.)0
