MFP - What do you track?
I track the exact same thing.

I use it to track everything. I adjusted the "goals" it sets to be more in line with what I aim to meet. Most important is protein, calories and carbs for me.

Calories, carbs, fat, protein, sodium, sugar. In the notes I jot down my vitamin intake and any food that I can't get locate very well in the food database. I also adjusted the goals for calories, carbs, sodium and protein. I've found it so useful.

You can only select that amount to show up on your diary screen, however, if you are ever curious you can find out the numbers on any of the options. Go to reports and set it to display whatever it is you are looking for. I track the same as you listed. I also dealt with issues with low blood pressure and eventually one of the docs caught that my sodium levels (per blood work) were really low. I started paying attention to the sodium numbers, and I was no where near the daily goal. Increased my sodium and my dizziness/lightheadeness/fainting stopped. So in a nutshell, track the ones that impact YOU specifically the most, but you can still access any of it when needed.

It tracks everything, as long as what you input is accurate. All the information is there, but as HappyTeacher said above, you have to look for some of it.
The only thing I really care about is calories. On my worst day I get 150 grams of protein, and I don't care about carbs, fat, sodium, or anything else.
Too many calories make me gain weight, so that's what I pay attention to.
