      Don't eat red meat and anemic last fall, so iron is first. Calcium because I'm 45 and my doctor told me to keep an eye on it. Saturated fat because my grandfather died of a heart attack and I am not going to be next. Calories, of course. Sodium, because of the heart thing and because too much is not a good thing. Overall fat to ensure I balance my calories between carbs, fat and proteins.

      My 6 meals are
      Breakfast
      Morning Snack
      Lunch
      Afternoon Snacks
      Dinner
      Evening Snacks

      I don't always eat that many mini meals, but I know that it's often healthier and it helps me track stuff that I eat, but tend to forget more easily, in between meals, by making me think about them.

      I use those nutrients because I want to affect how I feel based on my food, so I want to get enough vitamin C from food sources, as well as Calcium (and I try to look at Magnesium too). Calcium and Magnesium and two nutrients that can help alleviate symptoms of PMS (among other things)--for all those women on this thread. The vitamin C is to try to boost my immune system. :)

      I track carbs, fat, protein, sugar and fiber and calories.
      I have it split into meals and 3 snacks.
      Although with my new meds I don't have an appetite and haven't been eating as much.

      I track calories, carbs, fat, protein, sodium and potassium. I think i'll change potassium to fibre though.

      calories, carbs, fats, protein, calcium, and iron.
      the first 4 just to know where I stand, the last two because those are always the hardest to get in my diet.
