Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Estimated Energy Requirement is an average value and individual energy needs can vary based on factors such as age, gender, activity level, and body composition. Therefore, some people may have energy needs that are higher or lower than the estimated value. The other options are not entirely accurate as RDAs are not established for all essential nutrients yet, consuming 90% of the RDA for iron regularly does not necessarily lead to a deficiency, and consuming less than the Tolerable Upper Intake Level of a nutrient is generally safe and does not result in toxicity disorder.
