Dietary reference intakes for energy, macronutrients, and micronutrients

The dietary reference intakes (DRIs) includes two sets of values that serve as goals for nutrient intake: recommended dietary allowance (RDA) and adequate intake (AI). The RDA reflects the average daily amount of a nutrient considered adequate to meet the needs of most healthy people. If there is insufficient evidence to determine an RDA, an AI is set.
