Food and Exercise Diary Settings- Nutrients Tracked

Tap into the pie chart icon, there's a list of nutrients in that section on the app.

That said you will be unlikely to see correct figures for all of those items as they're not all required by nutrition labelling, the database is mostly user sourced and sodium is often filled in wrong due to confusion from European labelling that labels Salt rather than Sodium (people don't seem to realise Salt is only around 40% sodium).

Is it possible to see more Nutrients-Tracked columns on the website?
Would be great to see one's running totals/percentages in addition to the macros, especially the vitamins and iron.

The problem with tracking micro-nutrients like vitamins and minerals with MFP is that not all of that information is required to be put on food labels. The database is crowdsourced from other users and most of the entries come from some kind of label. If information isn't presented on the label, the user isn't likely to go through the trouble of researching it further to add additional data that is not on a label. Beyond that, many users only care about calories and macros (carbs, protein, fat), so they neglect putting any additional information in.

A big plus for MFP is that the database is massive and there's not much you can't find which is due to the crowdsourcing element...the downside is a lot of inherent inaccuracies and missing information, particularly anything beyond the very basic nutritional information. Sites like Cronometer have better databases in terms of accuracy of nutritional information and nutrients that go beyond what is on a food label...but the downside is that those databases are smaller in overall entries.
