Detailed explanation-1: -The 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 gender and life stage group (life stage considers age and, when applicable, pregnancy or lactation).
Detailed explanation-2: -Recommended Daily Allowances. While the EAR is set at a point that meets the needs of half the population, RDA values are set to meet the needs of the vast majority (97 to 98 percent) of the target healthy population.
Detailed explanation-3: -On average, women should have around 2, 000 calories a day (8, 400 kilojoules) and men should have around 2, 500 calories a day (10, 500 kilojoules). We all need different amounts of energy (or calories) from food to be a healthy weight. How much you need depends on lots of things, including how active you are.
