| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| DRI related to energy? | 1. AMDR is the recommended range of carb, fat and protein intake expressed as a percentage of total energy. 2. EER the average daily energy intake predicted to meet the needs of healthy adults |
| AMDR (Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range) 1. Carbs 2. Fat 3. Protein | 1. 45-65% carbs/ 4 cal per gram 2. 20-30% fat/ 9 cal per gram 3. 10-35% protein/ 4 cal per gram |
| DRI related to nutrients? | 1. EAR (ESTIMATED AVERAGE REQUIREMENT) 2. RDA (RECOMMENDED DIETARY ALLOWANCE) 3. AI (ADEQUATE INTAKE) 4. UL (TOLERABLE UPPER INTAKE LEVEL) |
| E.A.R. | MEETS NUTRIENT NEEDS FOR 50% OF INDIVIDUALS; USED TO CALCULATE THE RDA |
| **R.D.A.** | MEETS NUTRIENT NEEDS FOR 97-98% OF INDIVIDUALS; AIM FOR THIS AMOUNT |
| A.I. | AVERAGE DAILY INTAKE LEVEL ASSUMED TO ADEQUATE. used when there is NO R.D.A and E.A.R. can't be determined |
| U.L. | **SUPPLEMENTS** highest average daily intake level likely to pose no health risks. DO NOT EXCEED AMOUNT ON A DAILY BASIS! |
