Source: AccountFeed
This represents a single feed item on the Account record detail page (chatter feed).
It tracks different kind of feeds:
ActivityEvent—indirectly generated event when a user or the API adds a Task associated with a feed-enabled parent record (excluding email tasks on cases). Also occurs when a user or the API adds or updates a Task or Event associated with a case record (excluding email and call logging).
For a recurring Task with CaseFeed disabled, one event is generated for the series only. For a recurring Task with CaseFeed enabled, events are generated for the series and each occurrence.

To enable chatter feed tracking, go to Setup > Chatter > Feed Tracking and select the Account object and the fields you want to track.
Let’s take this account:
We have an AccountFeed of type TrackedChange and another one of type TextPost.
By querying for AccountFeed:
Note that the query includes the subquery (SELECT Id, FieldName, NewValue FROM FeedTrackedChanges), that returns, only for the TrackedChange record:
[ { "Id":"0D624000009RROlCAO", "FieldName":"Account.Phone", "NewValue":"(650) 450-8812" },{ "Id":"0D624000009RROmCAO", "FieldName":"Account.Fax", "NewValue":"(650) 450-8822" } ]
which tracks the fields change that originated the AccountFeed record.
N.B. Note we could have used the FeedItem object as well:
SELECT id, Type, Title, Body, Visibility, likecount, NetworkScope, (Select Id, FieldName, NewValue From FeedTrackedChanges) from Feeditem where ParentId='00124000003vaBu'
