Nutrient tracking question

I recall that when I made my profile, MFP popped up with my target calories per day, as well as a very cool looking daily nutritional target.

Is there something I'm missing as far as tracking your nutritional intake as compared with that target? I am able to pull up each category individually, e.g. potassium, vitamin c, but I can't compare everything against whatever my target goal may be.

Any tips are appreciated.

    Basically, you want to track more than just Calories, Fat, Protein, and Carbs?

    You will find that many of the foods have accurate calories, somewhat accurate fat/protein/carbs (some WAY off). I personally wouldn't trust the validity of the other nutrients.

    The maker of the sight, Mike, is a busy guy and does this for free. We love it. It has a lot of qualities that make it perfect for us. I know what your asking for, but I am afraid that the sight doesnt do it very well. It will show under Reports, but only individually (each nutrient) per day.
