    I track calories, carbs, protein, fiber and fat.

    Because i am diabetic, I am most concerned with NOT exceeding my daily carb allowance (set at 75 grams). I don't track sugars as I consider sugar a subset of carbs.

    I frequently go over my fat allowance (set at 47 grams) but am not particularly concerned about it ...most of my fat comes from lean protein (chicken, turkey, venison) or is monounsaturated (almonds, avocado, olives)

    I often go over my protein goal as well. I'd like to exceed my fiber allowance, but without grains, I struggle to hit that total without a fiber supplement.

    I usually go over on my fiber, but I figure more fiber is a good thing.

    Me too.

    Fat (and cholesterol if I eat more than one egg).


    I don't worry about it - for the most part my fats are from good sources, and I don't go over a lot. I was going over on sodium but just being able to track that has cut it down.

    Fiber. Sometimes carbs (particularly if I have a sandwich at lunch & then pasta in evening), but 80% of the time if I exceed anything it's fiber.

    Surprisingly, never sodium.

    For about a week I was tracking sodium. If you eat one packaged/processed meal a day, you are going to SHATTER the mark set by this site.

    I work a 10-hour shift with no lunch break, so packaged meals are my best bet if I want to eat anything. I didn't like it saying that I was eating double the sodium I should based on one meal a day, so I stopped tracking for sodium and started tracking for positive things like Vitamin C and Fiber. That way if I go over on those, it's not a bad thing, but a good thing,

    protein and sodium. Protein on purpose, sodium because it seems to be in damn near everything.

    Unlike most people, my big one is potassium. Seems like it never gets close enough to the daily goal (though a lot of foods contain potassium and it is rarely reported on nutrition labels). It has a big impact on everything from ensuring proper transmission of nerve impulses to preventing muscle cramps. Always looking for more sources of potassium!

    I'm having the same problem with sugar that others are, as well as Protein,which I'm not worried about. I have been avoiding some natural sugars, like fruits, because it.

    I'm going to go in and up my protein setting, but it will come out of my carbs.

    I always hilariously go over my fiber, and sometimes fat. This is because I am a vegan and it's easy to rack up the fiber on the diet. Once I noticed how high my fat was getting, I decided to eat more fruits versus nuts.

    Usually carbs or fat. I am set at 45 carbs, 30 protein and 25 fat or somesuch.
    It is usually my fruit, including prunes, and apple rice cakes that send me over.

    Protein and Fiber. I don't track sugar because by the time you have 2 servings of fruits you are probably over... salt I don't care it is transient and flushes out. I can tell by my BP and shoes if I have overdone it.

    I don't eat a lot of processed foods though which keeps my sodium down anyway.

    Protein -- I actually have trouble meeting my carb goals, which I find funny because I always thought they were my problem.

    I'm always over on sugar because I eat fruit all day. And I'm usually over my fiber, which I don't mind.
