    You can change any of the columns in your FOOD diary to any of the choices you can see in "Settings." https://www.myfitnesspal.com/account/diary-settings

    As far as recommendations, you'd need to establish your own Goals for fats, saturated fats, sodium, or whichever other nutrients you would be interested in changing.

    As far as diet is concerned the 900 lb gorilla is overconsumption. Overconsumption increases our inflammatory markers for example and heart disease in the context of diet is an inflammatory disease for the most part, and it isn't necessarily individual foods imo. Of course smoking, a sedentary lifestyle, excessive alcohol, stress et al, compound heart related events. A minimum would be to get all the essential amino acids and the proper omega 3's (EPA & DHA) vitamins and minerals and in enough quantity to support your healthy lifestyle after that any combination of ideally whole food carbohydrates and fats that you enjoy and are apt to continue to consume and enjoy into old age. Cheers.
