I've been counting calories for a while & also have been trying to eat a
little healthier (gradually). Figure that I'm on a 2000 calorie diet, what
should I be looking to get (or not get) in terms of fat, cholesterol and
the various nutrients? There is an awful lot of opinionated crap out there
online & I don't want to fall victim to bad advice. Also, I don't know
whether the %dv on the labels is based on reality, junk science or
political bull****. Pretty much everyone in this group though, the regular
posters, are doers, not just talkers. So I thought I'd ask here. Thanks!

Also, fwiw, I did take a look at what Uncle Sam has to say about all this,
at http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/foodlab.html . Maybe that's good advice --
I don't know. Thought I'd pass that link along, though, since the question I
asked is so broad.
