1: Daily Recommended Dietary Allowances

 The RDA allowances, expressed as average daily intakes over time, are intended to provide for individual variations among most normal persons as they live in the United States under usual environmental stresses.

  Diets should be based on a variety of common foods in order to provide other nutrients for which human requirements have been less well defined.

(2) 400 IU of vitamin D = 10 mcg cholecalciferol.
(3) 1 alpha-TE = 1 mg of d-alpha-tocopherol = 1.49 IU.
(4) 1 NE = 1 mg of niacin or 60 mg of dietary tryptophan.

2: Estimated Daily Energy Requirement

 These values are estimated from empirically derived equations, and are not completely accurate for individuals, but can serve as a guide for dietary planning.

Resting Energy Expenditure, or REE, represents the energy expended by a person at rest under conditions of thermal neutrality.

Resting Energy Expenditure (REE): 1231 calories.

Daily Energy Requirement represents the number of calories you must consume each day in order to maintain your current body weight.

Estimated Daily Energy Requirement (REE + Activity): 1600 calories.

As a general rule, a daily deficit of 500 calories will result in one pound weight reduction per week. (One pound fat = 3,500 calories)

3: Fat Content of your Diet

 After careful evaluation, the Food and Nutrition Board recommends that the fat content of the U.S. diet not exceed 30% of caloric intake.  To meet this guideline, you should consume no more than 53 grams of fat per day.

Your Ideal Body Weight (deduced from Sex and Height): 118 lbs.

5: Body Mass Index (BMI)

 Body Mass Index or BMI, based on an individual's height and weight, is a helpful indicator of obesity and underweight in adults.

Your Body Mass Index: 19.5  (Healthy Weight).
