The US Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) state you should consume:
- Protein: 10-20% of daily calories
- Fat (good and bad): No more than 30% calories/ ~ 20% if you are trying to lose fat
- Carbohydrates: About 60% of caloric intake.
Recommended Dietary Allowance or RDA is defined as "the average daily dietary intake level that is sufficient to meet the nutrient requirements of nearly all (approximately 98 percent) healthy individuals".
Therefore, most people should follow the above guideline when choosing their meals. These balanced meals help support your energy levels, immune system, muscle recovery, and brain functions. Also any diet that leans more on one macro nutrient (carb, protein, or fat) than another is usually a fad diet and not sustainable for long term health.
If you are concerned about what you are eating - the best way to measure is look at the food nutritional label and it will show you how much of what you are eating:
The more conscious you are about what you are putting into your body the better off you are... Happy Friday!!
