Quizplus · Accepted Answer

EER stands for Estimated Energy Requirement and is the total amount of energy needed per day for any given age based on factors such as gender, age, height, weight, and physical activity level. RDA (Recommended Dietary Allowance) is the amount of a nutrient needed to meet the requirements of nearly all healthy individuals in a specific age and gender group, while DRI (Dietary Reference Intake) is a set of reference values for the intake of nutrients and other food components that are used for planning and assessing the diets of healthy people. AI (Adequate Intake) is the recommended average daily nutrient intake level based on observed or experimentally determined approximations of nutrient intake by a group (or groups) of apparently healthy people that are assumed to be adequate.
