Describe how the percent Daily Values can be used to promote healthy eating?
What will be an ideal response?
The percent Daily Values (%DVs) which are listed on the Nutrition Facts panel are general reference levels for the nutrients listed on the food label. The %DVs give an idea of how the nutrients in the foods you buy fit into your overall diet. For example, if calcium is listed at 10 percent, a serving of that food provides 10 percent of most adults' daily requirement for calcium. Because the %DVs on the food label are based on a 2,000-kilocalorie diet, if you need more or fewer than 2,000 kilocalories daily, some of your %DV numbers may be higher or lower than those listed on the Nutrition Facts panel.
