You've just completed a 3-day nutrient intake analysis utilizing a nutritional analysis software program. Your analysis shows that your intake met >90% of the requirement for most nutrients. What reference values were used to determine the percentages of nutrients consumed, and how were these reference values determined?
The DRIs are the reference values used to determine percentages of nutrients consumed. Establishing benchmarks for nutrient intake required the input and analysis of researchers organized by the Institute of Medicine, a division of the National Academy of Sciences. The Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) comprise four main sets of reference values for nutrient consumption: EARs, RDAs, AIs, and ULs.
