I am currently taking in about 1200 a day.
Please help me to gigure out what my target percentages should be for these
other categories.
? % Calories from Fat
? % Calories from Carbs
? % Calories from Protein


There is a lot of personal opinion about this.

Mine is this: Aim for about 50% calories from carbohydrate, 25% from
protein, 25% from fat.

? Target Sodium (mg)


YMMV. I have to keep my sodium intake high or my blood pressure gets
too low and I start fainting.

? Target Cholesterol (mg)


The way I understand it now, cholesterol consumption doesn't really
indicate anything that important.
