    They are. Some things in here are set crazy low, such as cholesterol and sodium.

    If it's coming from good food, don't sweat it :)

    Also dietary cholesterol doesn't affect overall cholesterol as much as once believed. You're fine.

    I'm glad you posted this because I was wondering too. And sodium. So many good for you foods already have sodium and cholesterol. Is there a way to change MFP settings?

    The most mg for sodium in any diet should be no more than 2300 mg.Every once in a while I go over but most of the time I stay between 2000-2300 mg.
