The DRIs for most nutrients consist of four main values. The energy-containing nutrients use different standards, including two main values. Match the DRI that corresponds with the definition given below. (Note: Each DRI can be used only once.) - The average daily intake level that meets the needs of 50% of the people in a group - The average nutrient intake level that meets the needs of almost all healthy individuals in a particular group - When there is not sufficient evidence to establish RDA, that is used instead - There is an increased risk of an adverse health effect when nutrient intakes exceed this value - When all other factors are the same, this intake level will be higher in active than inactive people - The reference intake that has an upper and lower boundary. Consuming nutrients above or below these boundaries could increase risk of disease

The Dietary Guidelines for Americans were developed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to provide evidence-based nutrition information to improve the health of Americans. The USDA Food Patterns can be used to design healthy eating habits. The visual representation of these food patterns is called MyPlate. Select the food item that is an example of each food group.

Fruits - An Orange Vegetables - Carrots Protein - Eggs Grains - Rice Dairy - Yogurt
