    Depends on your personal goals and any medical needs. Many people choose to track fiber because it often helps with satiety. I would recommend that one if fiber helps you feel full.

    I'm diabetec so I track sugar. Also track fiber, which I sometimes switch out with sodium out of curiosity

    I track sodium and fibre but really the choice is very individual. There is no right or wrong with this one.

    I would recommend you track fibre as we tend to not get enough, especially if doing low carb or keto. Track sugar or salt depending on your medical condition.

    Fiber. And whatever else you want. I do potassium but that is kind of useless because the data entries mostly don't account for it.

    I track fiber too, having more fiber has helped my health a lot.

    I track whatever I think I may not be eating enough of. I do find if I eat enough vitamin A and C foods (veggies), I automatically get more fiber than I needs, so I've never bothered to track fiber. I sometimes change the settings to check one nutrient over another or just go to "reports" to check how I'm doing. The potassium entries are a problem as mentioned above, but you *can* find ones that include potassium if you are determined, usually the usda entries. If you eat lots of fruits and veggies, legumes, potatoes, you will notice they are the foods highest in potassium. I track it just because it is so important and so lacking in the typical American diet, plus hypertension is in my family history, and I want to avoid it.
