Comments:

  1. The results presents Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs) in bold type and Adequate Intakes (AIs) in ordinary type followed by an asterisk (*). RDAs and AIs may both be used as goals for individual intake. RDAs are set to meet the needs of almost all (97 to 98 percent) individuals in a group. For healthy breastfed infants, the AI is the mean intake. The AI for other life stage and gender groups is believed to cover needs of all individuals in the group, but lack of data or uncertainty in the data prevent being able to specify with confidence the percentage of individuals covered by this intake.
  2. The protein intake recommendation is based on 0.8 g/kg body weight for the reference body weight.
  3. Total water includes all water contained in food, beverages, and drinking water.
  4. The above recommendations are only estimates of your minimum needs, and do not take into account any illness or genetic individuality.
