What Do You Track?

[Back~To~Amy 307]

In food, what do you track? Calories, carbs, Protein? Anything else?

Also, what are your daily calorie, carbs, liquids and protein goals?

I'm 3 weeks post op and I track Protein and Water.< /p>

I track Protein and Water, but I use Myfitnesspal, so it also tracks calories, carbs, sugars and fat,

I don't pay any attention to the sugars and fats. I do look at the carbs and calories, but I'm not concerned about them.

My daily Protein goal is 70 grams. I usually meet this without going over 1,000 calories.

I track calories, Protein and Water. I find that if I stick to a 10 calorie/ 1 protein ratio my carbs stay in line around 20-50 per day (usually higher if I eat more than 1 Greek yogurt in a day).

Thanks for your responses. I especially like yours LindaS. It kinda answers a question I posted in another area of the boards about carbs. I just cannot eat low/no sugar due to the fact that I hate all sugar substitutes. I'm glad to know I can focus on Protein and not worry so much about carbs and still be successful.

I track Protein and i have a 10-10 rule nothing over 10 grams of fat and 10 grams of sugar per meal. I get 60 grams of protein a day and i struggle with my drinks. I get usually around 40 something ounces :-( its hard for me.
