Recommended dietary allowance (rdas) amount of nutrients that satisfies 97% of the population. Adequate intakes (ais) goal amount of nutrient because no rda exists. For nutrients we don"t necessarily need but improves health. Upper limit (uls) highest amount nutrients you can take without majority of the population going into toxicity. Estimated energy requirement (eers) average energy intake values predicted to maintain body weight in healthy individuals. Dependent on age, gender, weight, height, and level of physical activity. Men = 662 - (9. 53 x age [y]) + pa x { (15. 91 x weight [kg]) + (539. 6 x height [m]) }
