RDAs (Recommended Dietary Allowances) provide specific nutrient recommendations for healthy individuals based on age, gender, and life stage. This standard is commonly used by nutrition scientists to develop nutritionally complete diets, including formula diets. While %DVs (Percent Daily Values), Dietary Guidelines, and MyPlate are useful resources for developing a healthy diet, they do not provide specific nutrient recommendations for individuals.
