YES THERE ARE CHARTS: Yes there are charts that can show you a good nutritional approach for instance you can look up a diabetic diet or a hearth healthy diet. Can also consult a dietician. Best approach is healthy diet and exercise and drink water not sugary drinks. Avoid excessive carbohydrates so not too much cereal for instance.
