Nutrient Intakes For djm0922 on 10/25/2007
A nutrient recommendation is a target or goal for intake of a nutrient. Your requirement for a particular nutrient is unique to you, but it is likely to be lower than the recommended number. If your intake is at or above this number, then it is probably adequate. If your intake is below this number, that does not necessarily mean an inadequate intake. If today's intake is typically what you eat, and your intake for a nutrient is at or above the recommendation, it is likely that your intake of that nutrient is adequate. To better assess your usual nutrient intake, you should report foods eaten for two or more days and review your nutrient intake over time.
