Dietary Reference Intakes (DRI)
age- and sex-specific nutrient recommendations for Americans made by the Food and Nutrition Board
Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA)
Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range (AMDR)
Adequate Intakes (AI)
Estimated Energy Requirements (EER)
Tolerable Upper Intake Levels (UL)
Daily Values (DV)
Adequate Intake (AI)
based on estimates of intakes that appear to maintain a defined nutritional state in a specific life stage.
AMDR
Calorie % Ranges of Macros
Carbohydrates 45-65%
Protein 10-35%
Lipids 20-35%
Estimated Energy Requirement (EER)
EER needs to be specific, taking into account age, gender, height, weight, and physical activity
Serves as a starting point for estimating calorie need
Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL)
Maximum chronic daily intake level of a nutrient that is unlikely to cause adverse health effects in almost all people in a specific life stage
If no UL, there is insufficient data (not necessarily safe to consume excess)
Enriched
replacing nutrients lost during processing
Fortified
adding nutrients not originally present in the food
Good source
one serving contains 10% to 19% of the Daily Value for a particular nutrient
High
one serving contains 20% or more of the Daily Value for a particular nutrient
Organic
meets the following federal standards No use of chemical fertilizers No use of pesticides No genetic engineering No use of sewage sludge No use of antibiotics No use or irradiation
Natural
free of food colors, synthetic flavors, or any other synthetic substance
