EER represents the amount of daily energy needed to maintain a healthy body weight and meet energy needs based on age, sex, height, weight, and activity level.

True

The Estimated Average Requirement (EAR) is the average daily intake level estimated to meet the needs of half the people in a certain group.

True

The Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL) is the highest average daily intake level likely to pose no health risks.

AMDR

Which component of the DRIs offer recommendations for desirable percentages of carbohydrates, protein, and fat?

UL

Which components of the DRIs should not be exceeded?

Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range (AMDR)

a healthy range of intake for the energy - containing nutrients - carbohydrates, proteins, and fats - in your diet, designed to meet your nutrient needs and help reduce the risk of chronic diseases

Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA)

is the average daily dietary intake level that is sufficient to meet the nutrient requirement of nearly all (97 to 98 percent) healthy individuals in a particular life stage and gender group

Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL)

is the highest level of daily nutrient intake that is likely to pose no risk of adverse health effects in almost all individuals in the specified life stage group

Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs)

reference values for the essential nutrients needed to maintain good health, to prevent chronic diseases, and to avoid unhealthy excesses

Estimated Energy Requirement (EER)

the amount of daily energy needed to maintain a healthy body weight and meet energy needs based on age, sex, height, weight, and activity level

True

Consumers should not consume nutrient supplements which exceed the UL so that they can avoid toxicity symptoms.

RDIs

EAR, AI, UL, and AMDR represent the

Estimated Average Requirement (EAR)
