Which stat do you most frequently go over?

I always go over on Protein. I need to adjust my intake upward. I habitually go over on fat since I need a lot of protein to feel full. Cholesterol is normally OK except when I eat eggs. I LOVE eggs, but they are not always the best for that.

I go over sodium all the time! That's why I'm trying to reduce the amount of processed foods I consume....they like to sneak it in!

Thank you for all the responses! Is there a way to edit the default values that MFP puts in for each of these items?

Yes! It's under your profile settings.

This is so very true. I was glad they were able to move Lahair out to RF and bring Rizzo up. Between him and Castro they may have a future!

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.

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 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.

I seem to ALWAYS go over on my sugar.

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.

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