I am lost with the Daily Nutritional Goals target values.

What should the healthy % on Protein / carb / fat / cholesterol be?

Thanks

    40/39/30 isn't a bad place to start, or set your protein to 0.8g per pound of bodyweight and fat at 0.4g per pound and the rest as carbs. At the end of the day though, your calorie deficit is the most important thing.

    That ratio must be a typo bc that does not add up to 100, but otherwise sound advice
