The DRIs (Dietary Reference Intakes) provide guidance on the nutrient needs of different populations and can help ensure that the formula diet is nutritionally complete. The Dietary Guidelines (2010 version) and MyPlate are more appropriate for general healthy eating recommendations for the general population, not for a specialized formula for those who cannot consume solid food. %DVs (Percent Daily Values) are also more appropriate for evaluating the nutrient content of packaged foods, rather than formulating a complete nutritionally balanced diet.
