1

How the DRI's for energy and other nutrients are established.

The DRI Set nutrient intake goals for individuals, standards for researchers and public policy makes, and tolerable upper limits. The DRI are up-to-date, optimal, and safe nutrient intakes for healthy people. Based on scientific data and generously cover the needs of virtually all healthy people in the U.S. & Canada.

New cards
4

Estimated Average Requirements (EAR)

Research and policy. The average daily nutrient intake estimated to meet the requirement of half of the healthy individuals; used in nutrition research and policy making, and based upon which RDA values are set.

5

Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA)

Adequacy. Nutrient intake goals for individuals; the avg. daily nutrient intake level that meets the needs of nearly all healthy people.

6

Adequate Intakes (AI)

Adequacy. Nutrient intake goals for individuals; the recommended avg. daily nutrient intake level based on intakes of healthy people. Set whenever scientific data are insufficient to allow establishment of an RDA value.

12

Categorize foods into groups and subgroups within the USDA Food Guide and MyPlate.

The USDA Food Patterns divide foods into groups based on key nutrient contents; fruits, vegetables, grains, protein foods, dairy, and oils; limit foods that contain solid fats and/or added sugars.
