Answer 1

Ans

A is correct option.

1. The dietary guidelines recommend that 10-35% of your daily calories come from protein.
2. Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) is the amount of a certain nutrient you should get each day. It differs according to age, gender,pregnant or breastfeeding women . Daily Values(DV) are on food supplement labels that shows the percentage of certain nutrients in the food you take each day. DV help you compare one product with another.So, RDA are not specific as they varies according to age, gender, pregnancy etc.

1. The Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA) are a set of nutrition recommendations that evolved into: Dietary Reference Intake (DRI) and RDI(recommended daily intake). RDI used for food labeling and are what you see on food labels.
2. According to dietary guidelines about 30% of your total daily calories come from fat.

1. Vitamins and minerals are needed in very little quantities. Taking high doses of vitamins and minerals are unsafe as they accumulate in the body and can be toxic.
