Basic Tools in Nutrition


Dietary Reference Intake (DRIs)

Framework of nutrient standards


Provide reference values for use in planning and evaluating diets for healthy people
Include the following:
1. Recommended Dietary Allowance
2. Adequate Intake
3. Tolerable Upper Intake Level
4. Estimated Average requirement

1. Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA)


Average daily intake of a nutrient that will meet the requirement of nearly all
(97-98%) healthy people of a given age and gender

2. Adequate Intake (AI)


A suggested daily intake of a nutrient to meet body needs and support health
used when available research is insufficient to develop an RDA
Serves as a guide for intake when planning diets

3. Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL)


Highest amount of a nutrient that can be consumed safely with no risk of toxicity or
adverse effects on health
Used to evaluate dietary supplements or review total nutrient intake from food and
supplements
Intake exceeding UL usually results from concentrated supplement, not food
4. Estimated Average Requirement (EAR)
Average daily intake of a nutrient that will meet the requirement of 50% of healthy
people of a given age and gender

JMMOLO/CON/2020 

Used to plan and evaluate the nutrient intake of population groups

5. Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range (AMDR)


The suggested proportional distribution of kcalories across the macronutrients

Percentage Distribution of kcalories on macronutrients:


Carbohydrate : 45-65% of total kcalories
Fats: 20-35% of total kcalories
Protein : 10-35% of total kcal
