Quizplus · Accepted Answer

EAR values are not recommended goals for individual dietary intake, as they are only useful for evaluating the adequacy of nutrient intake in a group, not an individual. Individual needs may vary based on age, gender, health status, and other factors. Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs) or Daily Values (DVs) may be more appropriate goals for individuals.
